Answer» Answer: Here, The terms of given A. P. are=(-4),2,8,14,20,26............and so on. Step-by-step explanation: Here, As per our given question, =Sum of the first 15 terms of given A. P. =570 =S15=570 =S15=n/2[2a+(n-1)×d (Where n=15) =570=15/2[2a+(15-1)×d =570=15/2(2a+14d) =570=(15/2×2a)+(15/2×14d) =15a+105d=570 =a+7d=38 -(1st)eq. (As all numbers are divisible by 15) Now, As given in question, =Twelfth term of this A. P.=62 =T12=a+(n-1)×d (Where n=12) =62=a+(12-)×d =62=a+11d =a+11d=62 -(2nd)eq. Now, As we would apply ELIMINATION method to both equations, Here both equations have same sign (+), So, here we would subtract EQUATION 2 from 1, = a+7d=38 =-(a+11d=62) After subtracting, we get, =7d-11d=38-62 =(-4d)=(-24) =4d=24 (As minus is on both sides, so it gets cancelled) =d=24/4 =d=6 Now, by putting the value of d in eq. 1,we get, =a+7×(6)=38 =a+42=38 =a=38-42 =a=(-4) So, Now, As we have, First term(a) of the A. P.=(-4) Common difference(d) of the A. P.=6 So, Now its sequence or its terms are, =a, (a+d), a+2d, a+3d, a+4d, a+5d........... .. (And continue it like this for more terms) =(-4),(-4+6),(-4+2×6),(-4+3×6),(-4+4×6),(-4+5×6)...... =(-4),2,8,14,20,26............ (Answer). Thank you. |
