  • 👉 Learn how to find the partial sum of an arithmetic series. A series is the sum of the terms of a sequence. An arithmetic series is the sum of the terms of an arithmetic sequence. The formula for the sum of n terms of an arithmetic sequence is given by Sn = n/2 [2a + (n - 1)d], where a is the first term, n is the term number and d is the common difference. Where the last term is known, we can use Sn = n/2 (a + l) where l is the last term.

    This is incorrect. You need to put the argument of the summation in parentheses, especially when part of it does not contain the index, so as to group it with the parts of the argument that does contain the index.
    Written the way it is, the answer should be 14.
