The sum of the first n terms of any A.P. is given by
Sn = n/ 2[ 2a + (n - 1) × d]
Where a is the first term and d is the common difference of the A.P,
- a = 6
- d = 15
- n = 10
S10 = (10/2) × [2(6) + (10 - 1)(15)]
First, calculate inside the brackets:
2(6) = 12
(10 - 1)(15) = 9 × 15 = 135
Add the results:
12 + 135 = 147
Now, multiply by (10/2):
S10 = 5 × 147 = 735
Therefore, the sum of the first 10 terms of the sequence is 735.
