Given sequence:

-2,-7,-12 ,..

Unknown;

Find the sum of the first 20 terms = ?

Solution:

  The sequence is -2,-7,-12 ,..

To find he sum of n-terms of a sequence, we use the expression below;

     Sₙ  = \frac{n}{2} (2a + (n-1)d)

where n is the number of terms = 20

           a is the first term = -2

            d is the common difference= -7 - (-)2 = -5

Now input the parameters and solve;

       Sₙ  = \frac{20}{2} (2(-2) + (20 - 1) x -5)

      Sₙ = 10(-4 + -5(19))  = 10(-99)  = -990

The sum of the first 20 terms of the sequence is -990
