The correct Answer is:
To find the first six terms of an Arithmetic Progression (A.P.) where the first term \( a = x \) and the common difference \( d = 3x + 2 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the first term and common difference Given: - First term \( a = x \) - Common difference \( d = 3x + 2 \) ### Step 2: Write the formula for the nth term of an A.P. The nth term of an A.P. can be calculated using the formula: \[ a_n = a + (n - 1) \cdot d \] where \( a_n \) is the nth term, \( a \) is the first term, \( d \) is the common difference, and \( n \) is the term number. ### Step 3: Calculate the first six terms Using the formula, we can calculate the first six terms: 1. **First term** \( a_1 \): \[ a_1 = a = x \] 2. **Second term** \( a_2 \): \[ a_2 = a + d = x + (3x + 2) = 4x + 2 \] 3. **Third term** \( a_3 \): \[ a_3 = a + 2d = x + 2(3x + 2) = x + 6x + 4 = 7x + 4 \] 4. **Fourth term** \( a_4 \): \[ a_4 = a + 3d = x + 3(3x + 2) = x + 9x + 6 = 10x + 6 \] 5. **Fifth term** \( a_5 \): \[ a_5 = a + 4d = x + 4(3x + 2) = x + 12x + 8 = 13x + 8 \] 6. **Sixth term** \( a_6 \): \[ a_6 = a + 5d = x + 5(3x + 2) = x + 15x + 10 = 16x + 10 \] ### Final Result The first six terms of the A.P. are: 1. \( x \) 2. \( 4x + 2 \) 3. \( 7x + 4 \) 4. \( 10x + 6 \) 5. \( 13x + 8 \) 6. \( 16x + 10 \)
