<h3>What is Arithmetic progression?</h3>The difference between every two successive terms in a sequence is the same this is known as an arithmetic progression (AP).
The arithmetic progression has wider use in mathematics for example sum of natural numbers.
Natural number = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8...
Given,
Six terms as 10.5
So,
a₆ = 10.5
Common difference(d) = 1.5
The nth term of an AP is given by
= a + (n-1)d
So,
a₆ = a + (6-1)d
10.5 = a + 5(1.5)
a = 3
Now,
The Sum of n terms is given by
S = n/2[2a + (n-1)d]
S = 9/2[6 + 8(1.5)]
S = 81
Hence the first term will be 3 and the sum of 9 terms will be 81.
