...of terms 7. ANALYSIS. — The first term of an increasing series will be the last term diminished by the product of the common difference by the number of terms less one. The series is 45-5x6, 45-5x5, 45-5x4, 45-5x3, 45-5x2, 45-5x1, 45. Hence, the RULE. — I. Multiply... | |

...for this general term is Hence, for finding the last term, we have the following rule : — Multiply the common difference by the number of terms less one. To the product add the first term. The sum mil be the last term. The formula l=a + (nl)d serves to find any... | |

...preceding case, the last term 11 =z 3 -{- 2 X 4, and subtracting the first term 3, we have 2 X 4, or the product of the common difference by the number of terms less one. Hence, to find the common difference, Divide the difference of the extremes by the number of terms... | |

...that is, The first term of an increasing arithmetical progression is equal to the last term, minus the product of the common difference by the number of terms less one. From the same formula we also find j I — a , , , . a = - ; that is, n—l In any arithmetical progression,... | |

Hence, any term may be found by adding the product of the common difference by the number of terms less one, to the first term.
