Here, a = – 5 and d = – 8 – (-5) = -3.
Let, the nth term of the A.P. is – 230.
Therefore, a_n = -230
⇒ a + (n -1)d = – 230
⇒ – 5 + (n – 1)(-3) = – 230
⇒ (n – 1)(-3) = -225
⇒ n – 1 = 75 ⇒ n = 76
The sum of n terms of an AP is given by
S_n = n/2[a +l]
⇒ S₇₆ = 76/2[- 5 – 230]
⇒ S₇₆ = 76/2[- 235]
= – 38 × 235 = – 8930
It is an A.P.,
in which, a=−5,d=−8−(−5)=−3,l=−230
First calculate the number in series…..
l=a+(n−1)d
−230=−5+(n−1)−3
−225=−3n+3
3n=228
n=76.
Now,
Sum of the series =
2
n
(a+l)
76/2(−5−230)
38×−235=−8930.
So, the sum of your series would be −8930.
