find the sum of first 10 multiples of 2
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
a = 2
d = 2
S10 = n/2[2a +(n-1)d]
= 10/2 [4 + 18]
= 10/2 [22]
= 10 × 11
= 110
Hope it helps uh!!
Concept:
Sequence and Series: Arithmetic progression (AP)
Arithmetic progression : It is a sequence of numbers in which every number differs the previous number by a constant value which is called common difference of the sequence.
And, any sequence of multiples of a particular number is always an arithmetic progression with the common difference equals the number itself.
Find:
The sum of first 10 multiples of 2.
Solution:
The AP of multiples of 2 is 2, 4, 6, ---------- and so on.
From the above AP, we have
First term, a = 2
Common difference, d = a₂ - a₁ = 4 - 2 = 2
Sum of n terms of AP is given by,
Sₙ = n/2[2a (n-1)d]
Here n = 10
∴ S₁₀ = 10/2 [2(2) + (10 -1)(2)]
= 5 [ 4 + (9)(2)]
= 5 [ 4 + 18 ]
= 5 × 22
= 110
Hence, the sum of first 10 multiples of 2 is 110.
