Please tell me fast
Answers
Answer:
118
Step-by-step explanation:
Given 2 + 6 + 10 ..... x = 1800 .
Upon observing the above sequence we note these things :-
→ The above sequence has a common difference in them .
→ The terms are increasing by 4 .
→ The common difference is hence 4 .
→ The first term is a .
→ The above series is an arithmetic progression .
n th term of an A.P is given by the formula :-
a + ( n - 1 ) d .
Sum of n terms is given by the formula :-
Sn = n/2 [ 2 a + ( n - 1 ) d ]
Now putting the above values :-
Let there be n terms .
a = 2
d = 4
Sn = 1800 .
1800 = n/2 [ 2(2) + ( n - 1 )( 4 ) ]
⇒ 3600 = n [ 4 + 4 n - 4 ]
⇒ 3600 = n × 4 n
⇒ 4 n² = 3600
⇒ n² = 3600/4
⇒ n² = 900
⇒ n = 30
Hence n = 30 .
Now n th term = x .
a + ( 30 - 1 ) d = x
⇒ a + 29 d = x
⇒ x = 2 + 29 × 4
⇒ x = 2 + 116
⇒ x = 118
∴ The value of x is 18 .
118.
Given :
- AP = 2 , 6 , 10 , ....... , x.
- Sum of n terms = 1800.
- a = 2.
- d = 4.
