उत्तर
Let a be the first term and d be the common difference of the given A.P.
Now,
4th term = 22
⇒ a + 3d = 22 ...(i)
15th term = 66
⇒ a + 14d
= 66
Subtracting (i) from (ii), we have
11d = 44
⇒ d = 4
Substituting the value of d in (1), we get
a = 22 − 3 × 4
= 22 − 12
=10
⇒ First term = 10
Now
Sum of 8 terms = `8/2[2xx10+7xx4]`
= 4[20 + 28]
= 4 × 48
= 192

Complete the following activity to determine the nature of the roots of the quadratic equation x2 + 2x – 9 = 0 :
Solution :
Compare x2 + 2x – 9 = 0 with ax2 + bx + c = 0
a = 1, b = 2, c = `square`
∴ b2 – 4ac = (2)2 – 4 × `square` × `square`
Δ = 4 + `square` = 40
∴ b2 – 4ac > 0
∴ The roots of the equation are real and unequal.
