To sum up the terms of this arithmetic sequence: a + (a+d) + (a+2d) + (a+3d) +

Example: Add up the first 10 terms of the arithmetic sequence:

a = 1 (the first term)

d = 3 (the "common difference" between terms)

n = 10 (how many terms to add up)

The number series 1, 2, 3, 4 , 9, 10. Therefore, 55 is the sum of positive integers upto 10.
