Question
Find the 23rd term of the following A.P.: 9, 4,-1,-6,-11.
Advertisements
Solution
9, 4,-1,-6,-11
a = 9 , d = 4 - 9 = -5 , n = 23
tn = a + (n - 1) d
t23 = 9 + (23 - 1)(-5)
= 9 + 22 × -5
= 9 - 110
= -101

How many two-digit numbers are divisible by 5?
Activity :- Two-digit numbers divisible by 5 are, 10, 15, 20, ......, 95.
Here, d = 5, therefore this sequence is an A.P.
Here, a = 10, d = 5, tn = 95, n = ?
tn = a + (n − 1) `square`
`square` = 10 + (n – 1) × 5
`square` = (n – 1) × 5
`square` = (n – 1)
Therefore n = `square`

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, ......
