Material created by students working with the School of Mathematics, Statistics & Physics E-Learning Unit at Newcastle University over the summer of 2017, to support students making the transition from school to university.

I'm splitting these into separate questions, so here's a checkpoint with everything together.

I've split this out from a much bigger question.

This is the second of a two-parter that I split up.

There's a lot of stuff to do with gcds going on in the variables, but it doesn't seem to be used anywhere so I've left it.

Elliott Fletcher commented on Compute the partial sum of an arithmetic sequence 8 years, 4 months ago

I have rearranged this question quite a bit.

I have made it a two part question, instead of just having one part asking you to find the partial sum of the sequence, as the steps would've been too long if it was just a one-part question and i think a lot of students would find this question difficult without some guidance.

The first part asks the student to calculate the term number of the last term of the sequence and then the second part asks the student to calculate the partial sum.

I have also rewritten the statement and the advice accordingly.
