Answer:first term of an A.P is 4.
Step-by-step explanation:Hi,
Given that Sum to n terms of an AP is
3n² + n
Given common difference is 6,
If suppose a is the first term of A.P and 'd' is the
common difference, the Sum to n terms of an A.P is
given by Sn = (n/2)*[2a + (n - 1)d]
Given Sn = 3n² + n
If we substitute n = 1 , in Sn we get Sum to 1 tems of an A.P
which is equivalent to first term of A.P itself,
So, 1st term of A,P = S₁ = 3.1² + 1
= 3 + 1
= 4.
Hence, first term of an A.P is 4.
Hope, it helps !
