新GRE数学要点:Sum of Arithmetic Progression

新版gre数学复习重要考点:Sum of Arithmetic Progression   The sum of n-numbers of an arithmetic progression is given by
  S=nx*dn(n-1)/2
  where x is the first number and d is the constant increment.
  example:
  sum of first 10 positive odd numbers:10*1+2*10*9/2=10+90=100
  sum of first 10 multiples of 7 starting at 7: 10*7+7*10*9/2=70+315=385
  remember:
  For a descending AP the constant difference is negative.
