      1. tn=snsn1t_{n}=s_{n}-s_{n-1}
        The sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic series is sn=7n25n{s_n} = 7{n^2} - 5n .
        1. Find the common difference.
        2. Determine the first six terms of the corresponding arithmetic sequence.
      2. A triangle has a perimeter of 32m; the shortest side is 6 m long. If the side lengths of this triangle form an arithmetic sequence, what are the other side lengths?
        Topic Notes
        ?
        An arithmetic series is the sum of an arithmetic sequence. In this lesson, we will learn how to solve problems using the arithmetic series formula.
        • the sum of nn terms of an arithmetic series:
        sn{s_n} = n2[2t1+(n1)d]\frac{n}{2}[2{t_1} + (n - 1)d]
        = n2[t1+tn]\frac{n}{2}[{t_1} + {t_n}]
