Hili ni swali kuhusu Mfululizo wa Kihesabu (Arithmetic Progression - AP). Tunahitaji kupata jumla ya vigezo 10 vya kwanza.

Formula ya jumla ya nn vigezo vya kwanza vya AP ni:

Sn=n2[2a+(n−1)d]S_n = \frac{n}{2}[2a + (n-1)d]

ambapo aa ni kigezo cha kwanza, dd ni tofauti ya kawaida (common difference), na nn ni idadi ya vigezo.

  1. Tambua kigezo cha kwanza (aa) na tofauti ya kawaida (dd).

    Kutoka kwa mfululizo 8,−1,−10,−19,…8, -1, -10, -19, \dots:
    Kigezo cha kwanza a=8a = 8.
    Tofauti ya kawaida d=−1−8=−9d = -1 - 8 = -9.
    Unaweza pia kuthibitisha: d=−10−(−1)=−10+1=−9d = -10 - (-1) = -10 + 1 = -9.
    Idadi ya vigezo n=10n = 10.

  2. Badilisha vigezo hivi kwenye formula ya jumla ya AP.

    S10=102[2(8)+(10−1)(−9)]S_{10} = \frac{10}{2}[2(8) + (10-1)(-9)]
  3. Fanya hesabu ndani ya mabano.

    S10=5[16+(9)(−9)]S_{10} = 5[16 + (9)(-9)] S10=5[16−81]S_{10} = 5[16 - 81]
  4. Rahisisha zaidi.

    S10=5[−65]S_{10} = 5[-65] S10=−325S_{10} = -325

    Jumla ya vigezo 10 vya kwanza ni:

    −325-325
