Question

44. If the nth term of an AP is (2n + 1), find the sum of first n terms of the AP.

Chapter name :- Arithmetic Progressions​

Answer 1

Answer:

2n+1=44

2n=44-1

2n=43

n=43/2

n=21.5

Answer 2

Answer:

n th term l = 2n+1 (given)-----(1)

If we put n=1,we get first term of an A.P.

Then first term a=2(1)+1

a=3;-----(2)

Now we can find out sum of first n terms using this formula

sum of n terms of an A.P.=n/2(a+l)

(Here a is first term of an A.P. and l is last or nth term of A.P.)

Values of a and l putting in the equation (3) from (2) and (1)

Sum of first n terms of an A.P.=n/2(3+2n+1)

=> n/2(2n+4)

=> n(n+2)
