Answer:

10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45

Your input 10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45 appears to be an arithmetic sequence

Find the difference between the members

a2-a1=15-10=5

a3-a2=20-15=5

a4-a3=25-20=5

a5-a4=30-25=5

a6-a5=35-30=5

a7-a6=40-35=5

a8-a7=45-40=5

The difference between every two adjacent members of the series is constant and equal to 5

General Form: an=a1+(n-1)d

an=10+(n-1)5

a1=10   (this is the 1st member)

an=45  (this is the last/nth member)

d=5  (this is the difference between consecutive members)

n=8  (this is the number of members)

Sum of finite series members

The sum of the members of a finite arithmetic progression is called an arithmetic series.

Using our example, consider the sum:

10+15+20+25+30+35+40+45

This sum can be found quickly by taking the number n of terms being added (here 8), multiplying by the sum of the first and last number in the progression (here 10 + 45 = 55), and dividing by 2:

n(a1+an)2

8(10+45)

     2

The sum of the 8 members of this series is 220

This series corresponds to the following straight line y=5x+10

Finding the nthelement

a1 =a1+(n-1)*d =10+(1-1)*5 =10

a2 =a1+(n-1)*d =10+(2-1)*5 =15

a3 =a1+(n-1)*d =10+(3-1)*5 =20

a4 =a1+(n-1)*d =10+(4-1)*5 =25

a5 =a1+(n-1)*d =10+(5-1)*5 =30

a6 =a1+(n-1)*d =10+(6-1)*5 =35

a7 =a1+(n-1)*d =10+(7-1)*5 =40

a8 =a1+(n-1)*d =10+(8-1)*5 =45

a9 =a1+(n-1)*d =10+(9-1)*5 =50
