您好,我是 lop,高興能解答您的問題。

This is a famous formula :

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ... + ( n - 1 ) + n = n(n+1)/2

So , the nth term is n .
T(n) = n

the n th term

= S(n) - S(n - 1)

= (1/2)n(n + 1) - (1/2)(n - 1)n

= (1/2)(n)(n + 1 - n + 1)

= n

n.
let the nth term be an+b.
1a+b+2a+b+3a+b+...+an+b=1/2n(n+1)
a(1+2+3+...+n)+b=1/2n(n+1)
1/2n(n+1)a+b=1/2n(n+1)
0.5an^2+0.5an+b=0.5n^2+0.5n
By comparing like terms, a=1,b=0
