The sum of first nine terms of an arithmetic progression is 75 and the 25th term is also 75.Find the common difference and the sum of the first hundred terms.
-
(9 / 2)(2a + 8d) = 75
=> a + 4d = 25 / 3
a + 24d = 75
=> 20d = 200/3
=> d = 10/3
=> a = -5
S100 = 50*(-10 + 99 * 10 / 3)
=> S = 50*(320)
=> S = 16000
=> a + 4d = 25 / 3
a + 24d = 75
=> 20d = 200/3
=> d = 10/3
=> a = -5
S100 = 50*(-10 + 99 * 10 / 3)
=> S = 50*(320)
=> S = 16000

Arithmetic sequence is like, starting with a number a, and add a certain value
a , a+r , a+2r , a+3r , ...
the general term
Tn = a + (n-1) r , a is the first term and r is the value we add and n is the number of the term
sum of first 9 terms
a + (a + r) + (a + 2r) + ... + (a + 8r) = 9a + ( r + 2r + 3r + ... + 8r) = 9a + r(1 + 2 + ... +8) = 9a + 36r
9a+36r = 75 --(1)
they said the 25th term is 75
T25 = a + (25 - 1 )r = a+24r = 75 --(2)
a = 75 - 24r.
9(75 - 24r) + 36 r = 75
9(75) - 9(24)r + 36r = 75
36 r - 9(24)r = 75 - 9(75)
9(4r - 24r) = -8(75)
9(-20r) = -8(75)
r = 8(5.15)/(4.5.9) = (2.5)/(3) = 10/3
a = 75 - 24(10/3) = 75 - 8(10) = 75 - 80 = -5
General term
Tn = -5 + (n -1 )(10/3)
first 100 term sum
the sum of the nth term
Sn = na + (n-1)n(r)/2
S100 = 100(-5) + (100)(99)(10/3)/2
S100 = 100 ( -5 + 33(5)) , taking 100 as a factor canceling 3 with 99 and 2 with 10
S100 = 100 (5( -1 + 33)) = 100(5(32)) = 500(32) = 1600
a , a+r , a+2r , a+3r , ...
the general term
Tn = a + (n-1) r , a is the first term and r is the value we add and n is the number of the term
sum of first 9 terms
a + (a + r) + (a + 2r) + ... + (a + 8r) = 9a + ( r + 2r + 3r + ... + 8r) = 9a + r(1 + 2 + ... +8) = 9a + 36r
9a+36r = 75 --(1)
they said the 25th term is 75
T25 = a + (25 - 1 )r = a+24r = 75 --(2)
a = 75 - 24r.
9(75 - 24r) + 36 r = 75
9(75) - 9(24)r + 36r = 75
36 r - 9(24)r = 75 - 9(75)
9(4r - 24r) = -8(75)
9(-20r) = -8(75)
r = 8(5.15)/(4.5.9) = (2.5)/(3) = 10/3
a = 75 - 24(10/3) = 75 - 8(10) = 75 - 80 = -5
