A gardener plants (6) plants in the first row and (3) more plants in each next row. How many plants are planted in (8) rows?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 132

The numbers of plants form an AP with first term \(a=6\), common difference \(d=3\), and \(n=8\) terms. \(S_8=\frac{8}{2}[2(6)+(8-1)3]=4(12+21)=132\). Therefore, 132 plants are planted in 8 rows. A value such as 120 may result from an incorrect addition up to the eighth row. Exam tip: when the total of all terms is asked, use the sum formula \(S_n\), not only the nth-term formula \(a_n\).
