To find the sum of the first 48 terms of an arithmetic sequence, we can use the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series: Sn = n/2 * (a1 + an), where Sn is the sum of the first n terms, a1 is the first term, and an is the nth term. In this case, a1 = 2, n = 48, and an = 2 + (48-1)*2 = 96. Plugging these values into the formula, we get: S48 = 48/2 * (2 + 96) = 24 * 98 = 2352. Therefore, the sum of the first 48 terms of the given arithmetic sequence is 2352.
You are adding by 12. 12 + 12 = 24 24 + 12 = 36 36 + 12 = 48
