问题: 简单数学题

Given that the first term of an arithmetic progression is 12 and the sum of the first 10 terms is equal to the sum of the following 5 terms. Find the sum of the first 15 terms.

解答:

解:
a1=12,S10=S15-S10,2S10=S15
2S10=10(a1+a10)=20a1+90d=240+90d……(1)
S15=15(a1+a15)/2=15a1+105d=180+105d……(2)
solve(1)、(2)gives d=4.
an=8+4n
a15=8+4×15=68
S15=15(a1+a15)/2=600.
