Utilize our Harmonic sequence calculator tool for finding the sum of n terms of harmonic sequence when n=8, a=5, and d = 2 easily and quickly. So that you will get the result of 1/96.0.
Sum of first 8 terms of Harmonic Sequence of a = 5, n=8, and d=2 is 0.80472
Steps to find sum of n terms of harmonic sequence:
sum of n terms of harmonic sequence formula:-
Sn = `(1/d)*ln( (2*a+(2*n-1)*d)/(2*a-d) )`
where:
- sn is the sum of n terms
- a is first term
- n is total number of terms
- d is common difference
Input values are:-
a = 5
n = 8
d = 2
Put values into formula
S8 = `(1/d)*ln( (2*a+(2*n-1)*d)/(2*a-d) )`
S8 = `(1/2)*ln( (2*5+(2*8-1)*2)/(2*5-2) )`
S8 = 0.80472
Following are the step by step process to find the sum of N terms in a harmonic sequence easily by hand.
- Firstly, Write down the values that were given in the problem, such as a = 5, n=8, and d=2.
- As we know that arithmetic progression is the reciprocal of harmonic progression.
- Apply the formula of sum of n term of Arithmetic Progression, i.e., Sn = n/2[2a + (n − 1) × d]
- Substitute the values in the formula, i.e., Sn = 8/2[2*5 + (8 − 1) × 2].
- Simplify the equation, i.e., Sn = 8/2[2*5 + (8-1) × 2] = 96.0
- At last , the sum of n terms of Arithmetic progression is 96.0.
- Finally, the result of sum of n terms of Harmonic sequence is 1/96.0
