Celcius Scale

This scale was designed by the Swedish astronomer Anders Celcius .
The lower fixed point of this scale is 0 degrees Celcius ( The freezing point of water )
The upper fixed point is 100 degrees Celcius ( The boiling point of water )
The region between the two temperatures is divided into 100 divisions . Each division is 1 degree Celsius .
This scale is used in laboratories .

The second and seventh term of an A. P are 2 and 22 respectively. Find the sum of the first 30 terms.

Solution :

                                        an = a + ( n-1) d
From the problem statement,
The second and seventh term of an A. P are 2 and 22 respectively
We get,
                                              a + ( 2 - 1 ) d = 2.         (Equation 1)
                                              a + ( 7 - 1 ) d = 22.       (Equation 2)

Subtracting Equation 1 and 2
                                              a + d = 2 - (a + 6d = 22)
                                              a + d - a - 6d = 2 -22
                                                        -5d = -20
                                                            d = 4

Substituting  d = 4.   in Equation   (1)
                                                a + ( 2 - 1 ) 4 = 2
                                                a = 2 - 4
                                                a = -2

Thus Sum of the 30 terms is
                                                n/2 (2a + ( n - 1 ) d
                                      S30 = 30/2  ( 2(-2) + (30-1) 4 )
                                                  = 15 (-4 +116 )
                                                  = 15 (112 )
                                                  = 1680

Hence sum of first 30 terms is 1680.
