In the AP (-4,2,8,\ldots), what is the sum from the (20)th term to the (45)th term?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (4810)

The direct answer is option B, 4810. Here a=-4, d=2-(-4)=6. We need terms 20 through 45, inclusive, so there are 45-20+1=26 terms. The 20th term is t_20=a+19d=-4+19(6)=110, and the 45th term is t_45=a+44d=-4+44(6)=260. Their sum is 26/2(110+260)=13(370)=4810. Equivalently, calculate S_45-S_19; subtracting through the 19th term removes exactly the first 19 terms. Option A, 4720, has an arithmetic error. Option B, 4810, uses the correct 26 terms and their average 185. Option C, 4900, and option D, 4990, are both too large and do not follow the endpoint calculation. Do not count 45-20 as the number of terms; add 1 for both endpoints.
