The correct Answer is:
To find the first six terms of an arithmetic progression (A.P.) where the first term \( a = 5 \) and the common difference \( d = 4 \), we can use the formula for the \( n \)-th term of an A.P.: \[ a_n = a + (n - 1) \cdot d \] ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the first term and common difference**: - First term \( a = 5 \) - Common difference \( d = 4 \) 2. **Calculate the first term \( a_1 \)**: \[ a_1 = a = 5 \] 3. **Calculate the second term \( a_2 \)**: \[ a_2 = a + (2 - 1) \cdot d = 5 + 1 \cdot 4 = 5 + 4 = 9 \] 4. **Calculate the third term \( a_3 \)**: \[ a_3 = a + (3 - 1) \cdot d = 5 + 2 \cdot 4 = 5 + 8 = 13 \] 5. **Calculate the fourth term \( a_4 \)**: \[ a_4 = a + (4 - 1) \cdot d = 5 + 3 \cdot 4 = 5 + 12 = 17 \] 6. **Calculate the fifth term \( a_5 \)**: \[ a_5 = a + (5 - 1) \cdot d = 5 + 4 \cdot 4 = 5 + 16 = 21 \] 7. **Calculate the sixth term \( a_6 \)**: \[ a_6 = a + (6 - 1) \cdot d = 5 + 5 \cdot 4 = 5 + 20 = 25 \] ### Summary of the First Six Terms: - \( a_1 = 5 \) - \( a_2 = 9 \) - \( a_3 = 13 \) - \( a_4 = 17 \) - \( a_5 = 21 \) - \( a_6 = 25 \) Thus, the first six terms of the A.P. are: **5, 9, 13, 17, 21, 25**.
