In the AP (-30,-22,-14,\ldots), what is the sum from the (18)th term to the (50)th term?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (7722)

The direct answer is option C, 7722. Here a=-30 and d=-22-(-30)=8. The 18th term is t_18=a+17d=-30+136=106, and the 50th term is t_50=a+49d=-30+392=362. The number of terms from 18 through 50 is 50-18+1=33. Therefore the sum is 33/2(106+362)=33/2(468)=33(234)=7722. Equivalently, S_50-S_17 gives the same result. Option A, 7656, has an arithmetic or endpoint error. Option B, 7788, is not the sum of these 33 terms. Option C, 7722, correctly uses both endpoints and their average 234. Option D, 7854, is too large. Do not use 32 as the number of terms: inclusive counting gives 33. Also distinguish the first term -30 from the common difference +8.
