The correct Answer is:
To find the sum of the first 15 terms of the arithmetic progression (AP) given by \( t_n = 3 + 4n \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the first term and common difference The general term of the AP is given by: \[ t_n = 3 + 4n \] To find the first term \( t_1 \): \[ t_1 = 3 + 4(1) = 3 + 4 = 7 \] So, the first term \( a = 7 \). Next, we find the second term \( t_2 \): \[ t_2 = 3 + 4(2) = 3 + 8 = 11 \] The common difference \( d \) is calculated as: \[ d = t_2 - t_1 = 11 - 7 = 4 \] ### Step 2: Use the formula for the sum of the first \( n \) terms The formula for the sum of the first \( n \) terms \( S_n \) of an AP is given by: \[ S_n = \frac{n}{2} \times (2a + (n - 1)d) \] Here, we need to find the sum of the first 15 terms, so \( n = 15 \). ### Step 3: Substitute the values into the formula Substituting \( n = 15 \), \( a = 7 \), and \( d = 4 \) into the formula: \[ S_{15} = \frac{15}{2} \times (2 \times 7 + (15 - 1) \times 4) \] Calculating inside the parentheses: \[ 2 \times 7 = 14 \] \[ (15 - 1) \times 4 = 14 \times 4 = 56 \] Now, add these values: \[ 14 + 56 = 70 \] Now substitute back into the sum formula: \[ S_{15} = \frac{15}{2} \times 70 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the final sum Calculating: \[ S_{15} = \frac{15 \times 70}{2} = \frac{1050}{2} = 525 \] ### Conclusion Thus, the sum of the first 15 terms of the given AP is: \[ \boxed{525} \] ---
