What is the sum of the first (15) terms of the arithmetic progression (2,6,10,\ldots)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 450

For this AP, the first term is \(a=2\), the common difference is \(d=4\), and \(n=15\). Using \(S_n=\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]\), we get \(S_{15}=\frac{15}{2}[2(2)+14(4)]=\frac{15}{2}\times60=450\). Hence, 450 is correct. A value such as 420 usually results from an error in finding the last term or using \((n-1)\). Exam tip: write down \(a\), \(d\), and \(n\) separately before substituting in the formula.
