Find the sum:$34 + 32 + 30 + ………. + 10$
Given:
Given sequence is $34 + 32 + 30 + ………. + 10$.
To do:
We have to find the sum of $34 + 32 + 30 + ………. + 10$.
Solution:
Here,
\( 34+32+30+\ldots+10 \) is in A.P.
\( a=34, d=32-34=-2 \) and \( l=10 \)
We know that,
\( a_{n}=a+(n-1) d \)
\( \Rightarrow 10=34+(n-1) \times(-2) \)
\( \Rightarrow 10=34-2 n+2 \)
\( \Rightarrow 2 n=34+2-10=26 \)
\( \Rightarrow n=\frac{26}{2}=13 \)
\( \mathrm{S}_{n}=\frac{n}{2}[a+l] \)
\( =\frac{13}{2}[34+10] \)
\( =\frac{13}{2} \times 44 \)
\( =13 \times 22=286 \)
Therefore, the sum of the given sequence is $286$.
