Find $ S_{ 20 } $ ( sum of first $ 20 $ terms ) of arithmetic progression if $ a_1 = 0 ~~ \text{and} ~~ d = 0 $.
To find $ S_{ 20 } $ we use formula
$$ \color{blue}{S_n = \frac{n}{2} \cdot \left(2a_1 + (n-1) \cdot d \right) } $$In this example we have $ a_1 = 0 ~,~ d = 0 ~,~ n = 20 $. After substituting these values into the above equation, we obtain:
$$ \begin{aligned} S_n &= \frac{n}{2} \cdot \left(2a_1 + (n-1) \cdot d \right) \\[1 em] S_{ 20 } &= \frac{ 20 }{2} \cdot \left( 2 \cdot 0 + ( 20-1) \cdot 0 \right) \\[1 em] S_{ 20 } &= \frac{ 20 }{2} \cdot \left( 0 + 19 \cdot 0 \right) \\[1 em] S_{ 20 } &= \frac{ 20 }{2} \cdot \left( 0 + 0 \right) \\[1 em] S_{ 20 } &= \frac{ 20 }{2} \cdot 0 \\[1 em] S_{ 20 } &= 0 \end{aligned}$$The first few terms of this sequence are:
$$ 0, ~~~0, ~~~0, ~~~0, ~~~0 . . . $$
