Given an arithmetic sequence and its sum of the first terms . We are given that and . We need to find the value of .
2. Solution Steps
Since and , we have .
For an arithmetic sequence, the sum of the first terms is given by:
where is the first term and is the common difference.
We have .
Also, .
Thus, .
Therefore, the common difference .
Now we need to find and .
.
.
Finally, we have
.
Let's use another formula.
We have .
Then .
