题组1 等差数列前n项和的有关计算
1.设Sn是等差数列的前n项和,已知a2=3,a6=11,则S7等于( )
A.13 B.35 C.49 D.63
解析:选C S7====49,
或由解得
即S7=7a1+d=49.故选C.
2.在等差数列中,a6=a3+a8,则S9等于( )
A.0 B.1 C.-1 D.-1或1
解析:选A 因为a6=a3+a8,故a5+d=a2+d+a8,得a5=2a5,即a5=0.又a1+a9=2a5=0,S9==9a5=0,故选A.
3.(2018·全国卷Ⅰ)记Sn为等差数列{an}的前n项和,若3S3=S2+S4,a1=2,则a5=( )
A.-12 B.-10 C.10 D.12
解析:选B 设等差数列{an}的公差为d,由3S3=S2+S4,得3(3a1+3d)=2a1+d+4a1+6d,即3a1+2d=0.将a1=2代入上式,解得d=-3,故a5=a1+(5-1)d=2+4×(-3)=-10.
4.已知等差数列中,a1=1,a3=-3.
(1)求数列的通项公式;
(2)若数列的前k项和Sk=-35,求k的值.
