Did you know?
In an arithmetic progression (AP), where each term differs by a constant amount, the formula to find a term is: Tn = a + (n - 1)d, where Tn represents the term, a is the first term, n is the term number, and d is the common difference.
If we apply this formula to the information provided in the text, we can deduce that the third term of the AP is 10 times larger than the first term and the fifth term is 15 more times larger than the second term. Additionally, the seventh term is seven times more than the first term.
To find the sum of the 8th and 15th terms, we can use the formula for the sum of an AP: Sn = n/2 * (2a + (n - 1)d). Plugging in the values, we calculate the sum as follows:
Sum of 8th and 15th term = (8/2 * (2a + (8 - 1)d)) + (15/2 * (2a + (15 - 1)d))
Now, armed with this knowledge, you can easily calculate the sum of the 8th and 15th terms of any arithmetic progression with similar given values.
