If sum of n terms is given by Sn = 3n2 + 5n, then the common difference of this AP is:
We know S1is the sum of 1st term which is a
S1 = 3 + 5 = 8 = a
S2 is sum of first two terms
S2=3 * 4 + 5 * 2 = 12 + 10 = 22
And We have a2= S2 - S1 = 22 - 8 = 14
d = a2 -a1 = 14 - 8 = 6
What is the sum of the first 50 multiples of 3?
An athlete wants to improve his stamina, so he decides to increase the distance he runs by half a kilometer every day. If he starts with 5 km on first day, find how much he runs on the 10 th day
Distance increased every day is the common difference for the AP which is 0.5
Initial distance is 5 km , so a=5
To find the distance at 10th day, so n=10
l=a+(n-1)d
=5+(10-1)0.5
=5+4.5=9.5km
A tree in each year grows 4cm less than it grew in previous year. If it grew 1 metre in the first year, in how many years will it have ceased growing and what will be its height then,
One metre = 100 cm, a = 100 cm
since every year it grows 4 cm less than it did the preceding year, d = -4
Thus, it is an AP, with initial term a = 100 and d = -4
The tree will stop its growth, when nth term of the series is 0.
Nth term = a + (n - 1)d
0 = 100 + (n - 1)(-4)
0 = 100 - 4n + 4
0 = 104 -4n
4n = 104
n = 104/4
n = 26 years
