find an of 4n - n sq
Answers
Answer:
4n is the answer because n-n square =n so, 4n is the answer
Given
- Sum of A.P = 4n - n²
Since It is the sum of n terms. We put n = [1,2,3,......,n]
So,
Case 1:
n = 1
Sum of first term = 4 × 1 - 1²
=> 3
Since sum of first term of an A.P is the first term itself because we aren't adding anything to it.
•°• a = 3 (1)
Case 2:
n = 2
Sum of first two terms = 4 × 2 - 2²
=> 8 - 4
=> 4 (2)
We know that standard from of A.P is a, a+d, a+2d , ... , a + (n-1)d
Therefore, Sum of first two would be:
=> a + a + d = 4 [ from eq.(2) ]
=> 2a + d = 4
=> 2 × 3 + d = 4 [ a = 3 from eq.(1) ]
=> d = 4 - 6
=> d = -2 (3)
From the standard form of A.P, we know that an A.P is of the form a , a+d , a+2d , ... , a + (n-1)d , We have our A.P:
=> a , a+d , a+2d , ... , a+(n-1)d
=> 3 , 3 + (-2) , 3 + 2(-2) , ... , 3 - 2n + 2
=> 3 , 3 - 2 , 3 - 4 , ... , 3 + 2 - 2n
=> 3 , 1 , -1 , ... , 5 - 2n
