Sn = 4n^2 +2n

=> n/2 [ 2a +(n-1)d] = n(4n+2)

=> 2a +(n-1)d = 8n + 4

=> 2a + (n-1) d = 12 - 8 + 8n

=> 2a + (n-1)d = 12 + 8( n-1)


On Comparing both sides, we get

a = 6

d = 8

Tn = a + (n-1)d

= 6 + (n-1) 8

= 6 + 8n - 8

= 8n - 2

sv639616gmailcom: in RD answer is 4n-2

Sn = 4n² + 2n

=> ( first term ) a1 = S1 ( sum of first term )

• S1 = 4 + 2 = 6

a1 = 6


a2 = S2 - S1

• S2 = 4 × 4 + 4

S2 = 16 + 4

S2 = 20

a2 = 20 - 6

a2 = 14

• d = a2 - a1 ( common difference )
d = 8

an = a + ( n - 1 )d

an = 6 + ( n - 1 )8

an = 6 + 8n - 8

an = 8n - 2

an = 8n - 2
