In an arithmetic progression (S_{14}=777) and (t_{14}=96). What is the first term?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(15\)

For an AP, the sum of the first \(n\) terms is \(S_n=\frac{n}{2}(a+t_n)\). Thus, \(777=\frac{14}{2}(a+96)=7(a+96)\). Hence \(a+96=111\), so \(a=15\). If \(17\) were used, the sum would be \(7(17+96)=791\), not the given sum. Exam tip: when \(S_n\) and \(t_n\) are given, use \(S_n=\frac{n}{2}(a+t_n)\) directly.
