Question

Sum of first 'n terms of an arithmetic progression is 3n2 - 5n then its fifth term is equal to:​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Sn=3n2+5n

S1=a1=3(1)2+5(1)=8

S2=3(2)2+5(2)=22

S2=22=a1+a2

a2=22-8=14

d=a2-a1=14-8=6

nth term value is 164,then what is n?

nth term=a+(n-1)d

164=8+(n-1)6

164-8 / 6=n-1

156/6=n-1

26+1=n

n=27

So 27thterm is 164.
