Find the 16th term of the arithmetic progression (AP): 7, 11, 15, 19, ...

Also, find the sum of the first 6 terms of the AP.

Answer :

Final answer:

The 16th term of the given arithmetic progression is 67. The sum of the first 6 terms is 102.

Explanation:

To find the 16th term of an arithmetic progression (AP), we can use the formula:

an = a1 + (n - 1)d,

where

an is the nth term

a1 is the first term

n is the term number

d is the common difference

In this case, the first term a1 is 7 and the common difference d is 4 (since each term is obtained by adding 4 to the previous term).

Thus, the 16th term is:

a16 = 7 + (16 - 1) * 4

= 7 + 15 * 4

= 7 + 60

= 67

Now, to find the sum of the first 6 terms, we can use the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series:

Sn = (n/2)(2a1 + (n - 1)d).

Plugging in the values, we have:

S6 = (6/2)(2 * 7 + (6 - 1) * 4)

= 3(14 + 20)

= 3(34)

= 102
