Question 10
If the sum of n terms of an AP is 3n2+3n, find the rth term of the series.
Asked by miniprasad | 08 Dec, 2018, 10:50: PM
Expert Answer
rth term of AP = a + ( r - 1 )d
To get rth term, we need two unknowns first term a and common difference d.
Hence we need two equations to get these two unknowns.
But we are given only one equation which is the expression given for sum of A.P
So we will eliminate one unknown a and express the rth term using other unknown b
Sum =
hence a = 3(n+1) - (1/2)(n-1)d
rth term = a +(r-1)d = 3(n+1) - (1/2)(n-1)d + (r-1)d = 3(n+1)+d[ r - (1/2)(n-1) ]
