The sum of first 'n' terms. Sn of a particular Arithmetic Progression is given by Sn=12n-2n^2. Find the first term and the common difference.

Answer :

Answer:

d=-4 and a=10

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of a arithmetic sequence is given by (n/2)*(2a+(n-1)d). Comparing coefficients with the given Sn, we have; a-d/2=12 and d/2=-2, d=-4 and a=10.
