  新版GRE数学复习重要考点:Sum of Arithmetic ProGREssion

  The sum of n-numbers of an arithmetic proGREssion is given by

  S=nxdn/2

  where x is the first number and d is the constant increment.

  example:

  sum of first 10 positive odd numbers:101+2109/2=10+90=100

  sum of first 10 multiples of 7 starting at 7: 107+7109/2=70+315=385

  remember:

  For a descending AP the constant difference is negative.

  AP

  Average of n numbers of arithmetic proGREssion is the average of the smallest and the largest number of them. The average of m number can also be written as x + d/2.

  Example:

  The average of all integers from 1 to 5 is /2=3

  The average of all odd numbers from 3 to 3135 is /2=1569

  The average of all multiples of 7 from 14 to 126 is /2=70

  remember:

  Make sure no number is missing in the middle.

  With more numbers, average of an ascending AP increases.

  With more numbers, average of a descending AP decreases.

  AP:numbers from sum

  given the sum s of m numbers of an AP with constant increment d, the numbers in the set can be calculated as follows:

  the first number x = s/m - d/2,and the n-th number is s/m + d/2.

  Example:

  if the sum of 7 consecutive even numbers is 70, then the first number x = 70/7 - 2/2 = 10 - 6 = 4.

  the last number is 70/7+2/2=10+6=16.the set is the even numbers from 4 to 16.

  Remember:

  given the first number x, it is easy to calculate other numbers using the formula for n-th number: x+

  AP:numbers from average

  all m numbers of an AP can be calculated from the average. the first number x = c-d/2, and the n-th number is c+d/2, where c is the average of m numbers.

  Example:

  if the average of 15 consecutive integers is 20, then the first number x=20-1/2=20-7=13 and the last number is 20+1/2=20+7=27.

  if the average of 33 consecutive odd numbers is 67, then the first number x=67-2/2=67-32=35 and the last number is 67+2/2=67+32=99.

  Remember:

  sum of the m numbers is cm,where c is the average.
