Answer:

a_2=3

Step-by-step explanation:

The arithmetic sequence is given as: 1,\ a_2, \ a_3, \ a_4, \ \cdots,\ a_{10}

We are told that the 10 numbers add up to 100.

S_n=\frac{n}{2}(a_1+l)\\ $Where: \\n=number of terms\\l=last term\\a_1$=first term

S_{10}=100\\100=\dfrac{10}{2}(1+l)\\100=5(1+l)\\$Divide both sides by 5$\\20=1+l\\$Last term, $l=20-1=19

We know that the nth term of an arithmetic sequence

l=a_1+(n-1)d\\19=1+(10-1)d\\19=1+9d\\9d=19-1\\9d=18\\d=2

Therefore, the second number

a_2=a_1+2\\=1+2\\a_2=3
