How to Use the Calculator
To use this series calculator:
- Enter the number of terms in the series (n).
- Input the first term in the series (a1).
- Type in the common difference between the terms (d).
- Click the “Calculate” button to see the result.
How it Calculates the Results
The calculator uses the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series: S = (n/2) * (2 * a1 + (n – 1) * d), where:
- n is the number of terms,
- a1 is the first term, and
- d is the common difference between terms.
By substituting the input values into this formula, we can calculate the sum of the arithmetic series.
Limitations
This calculator:
- Only works with numeric input values.
- Assumes that the series provided is an arithmetic sequence.
- Does not handle very large numbers or numbers with more than 15 digits after the decimal due to precision limitations in JavaScript.
- Displays an error message if all fields are not filled in.
