The sum of the first terms of an Arithmetic progression (Ap) is 130.if the fifth term is 3times, the first term, find the (a)common difference (b)first term (c)number of terms of the Ap if the last term is 28.

For part a)

130 = 10/2[2a+(10-1)d]

Simplify, u get

2a + 9d = 26(1)

Also U5 = a + (5-1)d = 3a

Simplify, u get

a= 2d(2)

Substituting for a in equation 1,

2(2d)+9d= 26

Solving for d, we get

d = 2

In part b) substituting for d in equation 2 to get the first term

a = 2(2) = 4

Part c) the no. of terms required can be obtained by solving

28 = 4+(n-1)2

n = 13

step-by-step explanation:

i'm pretty sure it would take 20 hours because it's half the men so you multiply the number of hours it takes by 2

step-by-step explanation:

where is the question is there is a formula or is there not one
