Question

if the sum of first n terms is same as the sum of first m terms of an AP then find the sum of first m+n terms of the AP​

Answer 1

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

1.Take out the 'm' and 'n' terms.

2.Take out the (m+n)th term.

3.Use elimination method on the both the equations.

4.Add the difference you get.

5.you will get the answer.

$let \: a \: be \: the \: first \: term \: and \: d \: be \: the \: common \: difference \: of \: the \: given \: ap \\ s ^{m} \implies \: n \implies \frac{m}{2}[2a + (m - 1)d]= n \\ \implies2am + m(m - 1)d = 2n.......... (1) \\ and \: s ^{n} \implies \: m \implies \frac{n}{2} [2a + (n - 1)d] = m \\ \implies2an + n(n - 1)d = 2m...........(2) \\ on \: subtracting \: (2) \: from \: (1) \: we \: get \\ 2a(m - n) + [(m {}^{2} - n {}^{2} ) - (m - n)]d = 2(n - m ) \\ \implies (m - n)[2a + (m + n - 1)d] = 2(m + n) \\ \implies2a + (m + n - 1)d = - 2 .........(3)\\ sum \: of \: the \: first \: (m + n) \: terms \: of \: the \: given \: ap = \frac{(m + n)}{2} \times [2a + (m + n - 1)d]\\ = \frac{m + n}{2}.( - 2) = - (m + n)$
