Here are the solutions to the problems.

.1:

(1) Find the sums of the following A.P.s as far as the terms indicate.

  • a) 5+10+15+⋯+12th term5 + 10 + 15 + \dots + \text{12th term}
  1. Identify the first term (aa), common difference (dd), and number of terms (nn).

    $$
    a = 5
    $$
    $$
    d = 10 - 5 = 5
    $$
    $$
    n = 12
    $$
    
  2. Use the formula for the sum of an A.P., Sn=n2(2a+(n−1)d)S_n = \frac{n}{2}(2a + (n-1)d).

    $$
    S_{12} = \frac{12}{2}(2(5) + (12-1)5)
    $$
    $$
    S_{12} = 6(10 + (11)5)
    $$
    $$
    S_{12} = 6(10 + 55)
    $$
    $$
    S_{12} = 6(65)
    $$
    $$
    S_{12} = 390
    $$
    The sum of the first 12 terms is $\boxed{\text{390}}$.
    
    • b) 114+1+⋯+nth term1\frac{1}{4} + 1 + \dots + \text{nth term}
  3. Identify the first term (aa), common difference (dd), and number of terms (nn).

    $$
    a = 1\frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{4}
    $$
    $$
    d = 1 - \frac{5}{4} = -\frac{1}{4}
    $$
    $$
    n = n
    $$
    
  4. Use the formula for the sum of an A.P., Sn=n2(2a+(n−1)d)S_n = \frac{n}{2}(2a + (n-1)d).

    $$
    S_n = \frac{n}{2}\left(2\left(\frac{5}{4}\right) + (n-1)\left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)\right)
    $$
    $$
    S_n = \frac{n}{2}\left(\frac{10}{4} - \frac{n-1}{4}\right)
    $$
    $$
    S_n = \frac{n}{2}\left(\frac{10 - (n-1)}{4}\right)
    $$
    $$
    S_n = \frac{n}{2}\left(\frac{10 - n + 1}{4}\right)
    $$
    $$
    S_n = \frac{n}{2}\left(\frac{11 - n}{4}\right)
    $$
    $$
    S_n = \frac{n(11 - n)}{8}
    $$
    The sum of the first $n$ terms is $\boxed{\frac{n(11 - n)}{8}}$.
    
    • c) 1+2+3+4+⋯+50th term1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + \dots + \text{50th term}
  5. Identify the first term (aa), common difference (dd), and number of terms (nn).

    $$
    a = 1
    $$
    $$
    d = 2 - 1 = 1
    $$
    $$
    n = 50
    $$
    
  6. Use the formula for the sum of an A.P., Sn=n2(2a+(n−1)d)S_n = \frac{n}{2}(2a + (n-1)d).

    $$
    S_{50} = \frac{50}{2}(2(1) + (50-1)1)
    $$
    $$
    S_{50} = 25(2 + 49)
    $$
    $$
    S_{50} = 25(51)
    $$
    $$
    S_{50} = 1275
    $$
    The sum of the first 50 terms is $\boxed{\text{1275}}$.
    

    (2) The second term of an A.P is 15, and the 5th term is 21. Find the common difference, the first term and the sum of the first ten terms.

  7. Write the given information using the formula for the nn-th term of an A.P., Tn=a+(n−1)dT_n = a + (n-1)d.

    T2=a+(2−1)d  ⟹  a+d=15(1)T_2 = a + (2-1)d \implies a + d = 15 \quad (1) T5=a+(5−1)d  ⟹  a+4d=21(2)T_5 = a + (5-1)d \implies a + 4d = 21 \quad (2)
  8. Subtract equation (1) from equation (2) to find the common difference (dd).

    (a+4d)−(a+d)=21−15(a + 4d) - (a + d) = 21 - 15 3d=63d = 6 d=63d = \frac{6}{3} d=2d = 2

    The common difference is 2\boxed{\text{2}}.

  9. Substitute d=2d=2 into equation (1) to find the first term (aa).

    a+2=15a + 2 = 15 a=15−2a = 15 - 2 a=13a = 13

    The first term is 13\boxed{\text{13}}.

  10. Find the sum of the first ten terms (S10S_{10}) using Sn=n2(2a+(n−1)d)S_n = \frac{n}{2}(2a + (n-1)d).

    S10=102(2(13)+(10−1)2)S_{10} = \frac{10}{2}(2(13) + (10-1)2) S10=5(26+(9)2)S_{10} = 5(26 + (9)2) S10=5(26+18)S_{10} = 5(26 + 18) S10=5(44)S_{10} = 5(44) S10=220S_{10} = 220

    The sum of the first ten terms is 220\boxed{\text{220}}.

    (3) Find the number of terms in the following A.P.s

    • a) 2+4+⋯+462 + 4 + \dots + 46
  11. Identify the first term (aa), common difference (dd), and the last term (TnT_n).

    $$
    a = 2
    $$
    $$
    d = 4 - 2 = 2
    $$
    $$
    T_n = 46
    $$
    
  12. Use the formula for the nn-th term of an A.P., Tn=a+(n−1)dT_n = a + (n-1)d, to find nn.

    $$
    46 = 2 + (n-1)2
    $$
    $$
    46 - 2 = (n-1)2
    $$
    $$
    44 = 2(n-1)
    $$
    $$
    \frac{44}{2} = n-1
    $$
    $$
    22 = n-1
    $$
    $$
    n = 22 + 1
    $$
    $$
    n = 23
    $$
    The number of terms is $\boxed{\text{23}}$.
    
    • b) 2.7+3.2+⋯+17.72.7 + 3.2 + \dots + 17.7
  13. Identify the first term (aa), common difference (dd), and the last term (TnT_n).

    $$
    a = 2.7
    $$
    $$
    d = 3.2 - 2.7 = 0.5
    $$
    $$
    T_n = 17.7
    $$
    
  14. Use the formula for the nn-th term of an A.P., Tn=a+(n−1)dT_n = a + (n-1)d, to find nn.

    $$
    17.7 = 2.7 + (n-1)0.5
    $$
    $$
    17.7 - 2.7 = (n-1)0.5
    $$
    $$
    15 = (n-1)0.5
    $$
    $$
    \frac{15}{0.5} = n-1
    $$
    $$
    30 = n-1
    $$
    $$
    n = 30 + 1
    $$
    $$
    n = 31
    $$
    The number of terms is $\boxed{\text{31}}$.
    

    (4) Prove that the sum of the integers from 1 to n is 12n(n+1)=n(n+1)2\frac{1}{2}n(n+1) = \frac{n(n+1)}{2}.

  15. The sum of the integers from 1 to nn is an arithmetic progression with

    First term ($a$) = 1  
    Common difference ($d$) = 1  
    Number of terms ($n$) = $n$  
    Last term ($L$) = $n$
    
  16. Use the formula for the sum of an A.P., Sn=n2(a+L)S_n = \frac{n}{2}(a + L).

    Sn=n2(1+n)S_n = \frac{n}{2}(1 + n) Sn=n(n+1)2S_n = \frac{n(n+1)}{2}

    This proves that the sum of the integers from 1 to nn is n(n+1)2\boxed{\frac{n(n+1)}{2}}.
