For the Following Arithmetic Progressions Write the First Term A And the Common Difference D: −1.1, −3.1, −5.1, −7.1, ... - CBSE Class 10 - Mathematics

Question

For the following arithmetic progressions write the first term a and the common difference d:

−1.1, −3.1, −5.1, −7.1, ...

Solution

In the given problem, we need to write the first term (a) and the common difference (d) of the given A.P

−1.1, −3.1, −5.1, −7.1...

Here, the first term of the given A.P is (a) = −1.1

Now, we will find the difference between the two terms of the given A.P

a_2 - a_1 = -3.1 - (-1.1)

a_2 - a_1 = -2

Similary

a_3 - a_2 = -5.1 - (-3.1)

a_3 - a_2 = -2

Also

a_4 - a_3 = -7.1 - (-5.1)

a_4 - a_3 = -2

As a_2 - a_1 = a_3 - a_2 = a_4 - a_3  = -2

Therefore the fist term A.P is a = -1.1 and the common difference is d = -2

Is there an error in this question or solution?
