Find the first term of the arithmetic sequence in a27=-1/2 and the common difference is 2

1) First term = -105/2

2) The first option is the correct answer 9/2[ 2 + 26]

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

The first term of the arithmetic sequence in which a27=-1/2

and the common difference is 2  

To find the First term

First term of an AP be a and common difference d the nth term can be written as,

an = a + (n-1)d

Here n = 27

d = 2 , a27 = -1/2

a + (26 x 2) = -1/2

a = -105/2

From the figure We get  an = 3n - 1

To find first term a1 and ninth term s9  

a1 = 3 x 1 - 1 = 2

a9 = 3x 9  - 1 = 26

Sum of nth term of an AP  

n/2[first term  + Last term]

first term a1 and Last term = 26

Sum of first 9 terms S9

S9 = 9/2[ 2 + 26]

First option is the correct answer

go on the tube you might find some information there

i believe the correct answer is option 4.principalities were small territories that were run by russian rulers.

which statement correctly defines principalities in northern asia in the 1200s? principalities were small territories that were run by russian rulers.

hope i could ! : )
