The correct Answer is:
### Solution #### Part (i) 1. **Given the sum of the first n terms of the AP:** \[ S_n = \frac{5n^2}{2} + \frac{3n}{2} \] 2. **To find the first term \( a \):** - Calculate \( S_1 \): \[ S_1 = \frac{5(1)^2}{2} + \frac{3(1)}{2} = \frac{5}{2} + \frac{3}{2} = \frac{8}{2} = 4 \] - Thus, the first term \( a = 4 \). 3. **To find the second term \( a_2 \):** - Calculate \( S_2 \): \[ S_2 = \frac{5(2)^2}{2} + \frac{3(2)}{2} = \frac{20}{2} + \frac{6}{2} = 10 + 3 = 13 \] - The second term \( a_2 = S_2 - S_1 = 13 - 4 = 9 \). 4. **To find the third term \( a_3 \):** - Calculate \( S_3 \): \[ S_3 = \frac{5(3)^2}{2} + \frac{3(3)}{2} = \frac{45}{2} + \frac{9}{2} = \frac{54}{2} = 27 \] - The third term \( a_3 = S_3 - S_2 = 27 - 13 = 14 \). 5. **Now we can find the common difference \( d \):** \[ d = a_2 - a = 9 - 4 = 5 \] 6. **The nth term \( T_n \) of the AP is given by:** \[ T_n = a + (n-1)d = 4 + (n-1) \cdot 5 = 4 + 5n - 5 = 5n - 1 \] 7. **To find the 20th term \( T_{20} \):** \[ T_{20} = 5(20) - 1 = 100 - 1 = 99 \] #### Summary for Part (i): - The nth term is \( T_n = 5n - 1 \). - The 20th term is \( T_{20} = 99 \). --- #### Part (ii) 1. **Given the sum of the first n terms of the AP:** \[ S_n = \frac{3n^2}{2} + \frac{5n}{2} \] 2. **To find the first term \( a \):** - Calculate \( S_1 \): \[ S_1 = \frac{3(1)^2}{2} + \frac{5(1)}{2} = \frac{3}{2} + \frac{5}{2} = \frac{8}{2} = 4 \] - Thus, the first term \( a = 4 \). 3. **To find the second term \( a_2 \):** - Calculate \( S_2 \): \[ S_2 = \frac{3(2)^2}{2} + \frac{5(2)}{2} = \frac{12}{2} + \frac{10}{2} = 6 + 5 = 11 \] - The second term \( a_2 = S_2 - S_1 = 11 - 4 = 7 \). 4. **To find the third term \( a_3 \):** - Calculate \( S_3 \): \[ S_3 = \frac{3(3)^2}{2} + \frac{5(3)}{2} = \frac{27}{2} + \frac{15}{2} = \frac{42}{2} = 21 \] - The third term \( a_3 = S_3 - S_2 = 21 - 11 = 10 \). 5. **Now we can find the common difference \( d \):** \[ d = a_2 - a = 7 - 4 = 3 \] 6. **The nth term \( T_n \) of the AP is given by:** \[ T_n = a + (n-1)d = 4 + (n-1) \cdot 3 = 4 + 3n - 3 = 3n + 1 \] 7. **To find the 25th term \( T_{25} \):** \[ T_{25} = 3(25) + 1 = 75 + 1 = 76 \] #### Summary for Part (ii): - The nth term is \( T_n = 3n + 1 \). - The 25th term is \( T_{25} = 76 \). ---
