Question:
Find the sum of first 22 terms of the list of numbers whose nth term given by an = 3 + 2n..
Solution:
an = 3 + 2n
Let .. n = 1, 2, 3, 4,....
• a1 = 3 + 2(1)
→ 3 + 2 = 5
• a2 = 3 + 2(2)
→ 3 + 4 = 7
• a3 = 3 + 2(3)
→ 3 + 6 = 9
• a4 = 3 + 2(4)
→ 3 + 8 = 11
Now.. the AP is 5, 7, 9, 11, ....
Here..
First term (a) = 5
Common difference (d) = a2 - a1
→ 7 - 5 = 2
Number of terms (n) = 24
__________ [ GIVEN ]
• We have to find the first 22 terms of the list of the numbers.
_____________________________
We know that
» [2a + (n - 1)d]
Put the known values in above formula
→ [2(5) + (24 - 1)2]
→ = 12 [10 + 23(2)]
→ = 12(10 + 46)
→ = 12(56)
→ = 672
____________________________
672 is the first 22 terms of the list of the numbers whose nth term given by an = 3 + 2n..
