Find the sum to n terms of the AP . whose Kth term is 5k+1
Answers
Answer:
3n ( n + 1 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given----> Kth term of AP is ( 5k + 1 ).
To find---> Sum of n terms of given AP.
Solution---> ATQ,
Kth term of AP = ( 5k + 1 )
aₖ = ( 5k + 1 )
If we put K = 1 , 2, 3, ......etc., we get first , second , third terms respectively.
Putting k = 1 , in it,
a₁ = 5 ( 1 ) + 1
= 5 + 1 = 6
Putting k = 2 , in it,
a₂ = 5 ( 2 ) + 1
= 10 + 1
= 11
First term = 6 , Common difference = 11 - 5 = 6
Now , Sum of n terms of AP ,
Sₙ = n / 2 { 2a + ( n - 1 ) d }
= n / 2 { 2 ( 6 ) + ( n - 1 ) 6 }
= n / 2 ( 12 + 6n - 6 )
= n / 2 ( 6n + 6 )
= 6 n ( n + 1 ) / 2
= 3 n ( n + 1 )
