AP consists of three terms whose sum is 15 and sum of the square of extremes is 58 find the 3 terms of AP and also find the sum of first 50 terms of an ap
Answers
I hope you will understand the answer .
Answer:
Sum of the first 50 terms is 2700.
Pls mark it as brainliest .
The sum of first 50 terms of an A.P is 2700.
Given as :
For an A.P , the sum of three terms = 15
Let The three A.P terms are, a - d , a , a + d
So, The sum of three terms = (a -d) + a + (a + d)
Or, (a -d) + a + (a + d) = 15
Or, (a + a + a) + ( - d + d) = 15
Or, 3 a + 0 = 15
So, The first term = a = 5
Again,
The sum of square of extremes = 58
So, (a - d)² + (a + d)² = 58
Or, a² - 2 a d + d² + a² + 2 a d + d² = 58
Or, 2 a² + 2 d² + 0 = 58
Or, a² + d² =
Or, a² + d² = 29
Put the value of a
So, 5² + d² = 29
Or, 25 + d² = 29
Or, d² = 29 - 25
Or, d² = 4
So, The common difference in A.P = d = 2
∴ The first term of A.P = a - d = 5 - 2
I.e. The first term of A.P = 3
The second term of A.P = a
i.e. The second term of A.P = 5
The third term of A.P = a + d = 5 + 2
i.e. The third term of A.P = 7
Again
Let The sum of first 50 terms = s
∵ The sum of n terms of A.P =
So, The sum of first 50 terms =
Or, s = 25 × [10 + 49 × 2]
Or, s = 25 × [108]
So, The sum of first 50 terms of an A.P = s = 2700
Hence, The sum of first 50 terms of an A.P is 2700.
