Is this correct? Arithmetic sum and sequence sum_(n=51)^100 7n100n=517n

sum_(n=51)^100 7n100n=517n

S_n=50/2 (357+700)= =26,425Sn=502(357+700)==26,425
a_100=7(51)+7(100−51)=700a100=7(51)+7(10051)=700

See below.

Explanation:

You need the sum from n=51n=51 so:

sum_(n=1)^(100)7n-sum_(n=1)^(50)7n100n=17n50n=17n

7*(sum_(n=1)^(100)n-sum_(n=1)^(50)n)7(100n=1n50n=1n)

7*(100/2(2+99)-50/2(2+49))7(1002(2+99)502(2+49))

7*(5050-1275)7(50501275)

7*(3775)=264257(3775)=26425

n_100n100

First term is 7 and common difference is 7:

nthnth term

a+(n-1)da+(n1)d

n_100=7+(99)*7=700n100=7+(99)7=700

So you are correct, or we are both wrong.
