Answer:
a₁ = - 24
Step-by-step explanation:
The n th term of an AP is
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Given a₇ = 2a₅ , then
a₁ + 6d = 2(a₁ + 4d) = 2a₁ + 8d ( subtract 2a₁ + 8d from both sides )
- a₁ - 2d = 0 → (1)
The sum to n terms of an AP is
=
[ 2a₁ + (n - 1)d ]
Given = 84 , then
(2a₁ + 6d) = 84
3.5(2a₁ + 6d) = 84 ( divide both sides by 3.5 )
2a₁ + 6d = 24 → (2)
Thus we have 2 equations
- a₁ - 2d = 0 → (1)
2a₁ + 6d = 24 → (2)
Multiplying (1) by 3 and adding to (2) will eliminate d
- 3a₁ - 6d = 0 → (3)
Add (2) and (3) term by term to eliminate d
- a₁ = 24 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
a₁ = - 24
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Normally, when I do this, I differentiate each term first with respect to x then with respect to y. In this solution, I differentiated the entire expression with respect to x, then with respect to y. That makes separating the dx and dy coefficients much easier, so the solution almost falls into your lap.
