Course

#### Question

Write the arithmetic progressions write the first term a and common difference d is as follows:

a = 4,d = -3

#### Solution

In the given problem, we are given its first term (a) and common difference (d).

We need to find the A.P

a = 4,d = -3

Now as a = 4

A.P would be represented by a, a_1,a_2,a_3,a_4 ..........

So,

a_1 = a + d

a_1 = 4 + (-3)

a_1 = 1

Similarly

a_2 = a_1 + d

a_2 = 1 + (-3)

a_2= -2

Also

a_3 = a_2  + d

a_3 = -2 + (-3)

a_3 = -5

Futher

a_4 = a_3 + d

a_4 = -5 + (-3)

a_4 = -8

Therefore, A.P with a= 4 and d = -3 is 4, 1, -2, -5 , -8......

Is there an error in this question or solution?
