☆GIVEN
Sum of first n term is :-An²+Bn where A and b are constant
So, we have 2 show the sequence is ap
now,let take n = 1
so value come
An²+Bn
=>A+B (1)
again let n=2
=> 4a+2b (2)
.
subtracting eq 1 from 2..
2a+2b-(a+b)
=4a+2b-a-b
=3a+b
So this is first term (3a+b)
similarly we find second term..
when n=3
=>9a+3b (3)
Now agin subtracting equation 2 from 3
we get. term 2
9a+3b-4a-2b
=5a-b
Now cd(T2-T1)
(5a-b-3a-b)
d=2a-2b
Let check this is ap or not
a=3a+b
d=2a-2b
n=2
so putting these value in tn formula
3a+b+2a-2b
=5a-b. (4)
Here the the equation (4) is equal value to the term 2
Hence, This is an ap
yes it is converse
