Given:

First term of an arithmetic sequence is 2.

Sum of first 15 terms = 292.5

To find:

The common difference.

Solution:

We have,

First term: a=2

Sum of first 15 terms: S_{15}=292.5

The formula of sum of first n terms of an AP is

S_n=\dfrac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]

Where, a is first term and d is common difference.

Putting S_{15}=292.5, n=15 and a=2 in the above formula, we get

292.5=\dfrac{15}{2}[2(2)+(15-1)d]

292.5=\dfrac{15}{2}[4+14d]

292.5=15[2+7d]

Divide both sides by 15.

\dfrac{292.5}{15}=2+7d

19.5=2+7d

19.5-2=7d

17.5=7d

Dividing both sides by 7, we get

\dfrac{17.5}{7}=d

2.5=d

Therefore, the common difference is 2.5.

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

B, E

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a few ways to check for common denominator.

Here is one method

Take the 4 and 10 and see if both numbers will  go into the numbers evenly. If they do, it is a common denominator

<u>Will 4 and 10 divide evenly into 10 ?</u>

4 will not go into 10 evenly

10 is not a common denominator.

<u>Will 4 and 10 divide evenly into 20?</u>

4 will go into 20 evenly. 20 /4 = 5

10 will go into 20 evenly 20 / 10 =  2

So 20 is a common denominator

<u>Will 4 and 10 divide evenly into 24?</u>

4 will go into 24 evenly 24 / 4 = 6

10 will not go into 24 evenly

24 is not a common denominator

<u>Will 4 and 10 divide evenly into 32?</u>

4 will go into 32 evenly 32 / 4 = 8

10 will not go into 32 evenly

32 is not a common denominator

<u>Will 4 and 10 divide evenly into 40?</u>

4 will go into 40 evenly 40/4 = 10

10 will go into 40 evenly 40 / 10 = 4

40 is a common denominator
