Answer:_______________




 

1)  

 The first term of an A.P is 6 and the common difference is 2. Find the A.P and its general term.

tn = Answer: 2n+4

2n + 4


SOLUTION 1 :

Given: First term a = 6 and common difference d = 2

The A.P is a, a + d, a + 2d.....

6, 6+2, 6 + 2(2)

6, 8, 10

The required A.P is 6, 8, 10

General term tn = a + (n-1)d  

tn = 6 + (n-1)2

tn  = 6 + 2n-2

= 2n + 4

tn = 2n + 4

 

 



2)  

 The first term of an A.P is 9 and the common difference is 4. Find the A.P and its general term.

tn = Answer: 4n+5

4n + 5


SOLUTION 1 :

Given: First term a = 9 and common difference d = 4

The A.P is a, a + d, a + 2d.....

9, 9+4, 9 + 2(4)

9, 13, 17

The required A.P is 9, 13, 17

General term tn = a + (n-1)d  

tn = 9 + (n-1)4

tn  = 9 + 4n-4

= 4n + 5

tn = 4n + 5
