Find the term t15 of an A.P. : 4, 9, 14, …………..

Solution

We need to find the 15th term of the A.P., 4, 9, 14
Here, the initial term is, a = 4.
Common difference = 14 - 9 = 9 - 4 = 5
The general term of an A.P is given by the formula,
tn = a + (n - 1)d
 t15 = 4 + (15 - 1) × 5
 t15 = 4 + 14 × 5
 t15 = 4 + 70
 t15 = 74

Decide whether 301 is term of given sequence 5, 11, 17, 23,.....

Activity :-  Here, d = `square`, therefore this sequence is an A.P.

a = 5, d = `square`

Let nth term of this A.P. be 301.

tn = a + (n – 1) `square`

301 = 5 + (n – 1) × `square`

301 = 6n – 1

n = `302/6` = `square`

But n is not positive integer.

Therefore, 301 is `square` the term of sequence 5, 11, 17, 23,......
