The sum of first 15 term arithmetic sequence is 570 and 12th term is 62 write its sequence
Answers
Answer:
All we have to do now is to apply the formula sn=n2(2a+(n−1)d)) to determine the sum of the sequence. Thus, the sum of the first fifteen terms in the arithmetic sequence is 975 .
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Let the first term of the required A.P be 'a' and its common difference be 'd'
Given : S15= 570
t12= 62
To find : The A.P.
Solution:
S15 = 570........( Given)
We know that,
Sn = n/2 [2a+(n-1)d]
So,
S15= 15/2 [2a+(15-1)d]
570= 15 /2[2a +14d]
570= 15(a+7d) ....... [ By taking 2 common and cancelling)
a+7d= 38........ (1)
But,
t12= 62
we know that,
tn = a+(n-1)d
so,
t12= a+ (12-1)d
a+11d= 62......... (2)
By (2)- (1), we get
a+11d=62
a+7d=38
- - -
________
4d= 24
d=6
Substituting the value of d in equation (1) , we get
a+ 7(6) = 38
a+ 42= 38
a= 38-42
a= -4
The required A.P. can be represented as
(a-d), a, (a+d),(a+2d) ,..................
-10,-4,2,8,................... is the required A.P
