Answer:

  • 2820 seats
  • aₙ = 3n + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an AP with:

  • The first term a₁ = 12
  • Common difference d = 3
  • Number of terms n = 40

Number of the seats:

  • Sₙ = 1/2*n(a₁ + aₙ) = 1/2n(2a₁ + (n - 1)d)
  • S₄₀ = 1/2*40(12*2 + 39*3) = 2820 seats

Formula of nth term:

  • aₙ = a₁ + (n - 1)d
  • aₙ = 12 + (n - 1)*3 = 12 + 3n - 3 = 3n + 9
  • aₙ = 3n + 9
