a3+a7=6 ⇒a+2d+a+6d=6
⇒2a+8d=6
⇒a+4d=3 ..........1
also, a3×a7=8 ⇒(a+2d)(a+6d)=8 ..........2
substituting a=3-4d in 2
3-4d+2d)(3-4d+6d)=8
(3-2d)(3+2d)=8
(3)²-(2d)²=8
9-4d²=8
-4d²=8-9
d²=-1/-4
d=√1/√4 ⇒ d=+1/2,-1/2
if d=1/2 then I if d=-1/2
a+4d=3 I a+4d=3
a+4×1/2=3 I a+4×(-1/2)=3
a=3-2 ⇒ a=1 I a=3+2 ⇒ a=5
Sn=n/2(2a+(n-1)d)
if a= 1 and d=1/2 I if a=5 and d=-1/2
S16=16/2(2(1)+15(1/2)) I S16=16/2(2(5)+15(-1/2))
=8(4+15)/2 I =8(20-15)/2
=4(4+15) ⇒ 76 I =4(20-15) ⇒ 20
:) Hope this helps!!!!!!
