  It is always 1.
  It cannot be 4.
  It cannot be 10.
  It can be any number!

2.) An arithmetic series has t1=1, tn=11, n=11. What is its sum?
  Not enough information - what is d?
  110
  55
  66

3.) An arithmetic series has t1=1, d=4, n=11. What is its sum?
  40
  440
  231, since tn = 1+(10*4) = 41.
  Unknown, since we don't know tn

4.) An arithmetic series has t1=1, tn=49, n=10. What is its sum?
  500
  250
  275
  Unknown, since we don't know d

5.) An arithmetic series has d=2, tn=50, n=10. What is its sum?
  390
  820
  410, since t1=tn-9*2=50-18=32.
  Unknown, since we don't know t1

6.) An arithmetic series has t1=32, d=2, tn=50. What is its sum?
  390
  820
  410 (tn-t1=(n-1)*d->50-32=(n-1)*2->n=10)
  Unknown, since we don't know n
