Solution
Given:
\[a_9 = 0 \]
\[ \Rightarrow a + \left( 9 - 1 \right)d = 0 \left[ a_n = a + \left( n - 1 \right)d \right]\]
\[ \Rightarrow a + 8d = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow a = - 8d . . . (i)\]
To prove:
\[a_{29} = 2 a_{19} \]
Proof:
\[\text { LHS }: a_{29} = a + \left( 29 - 1 \right)d\]
\[ = a + 28d\]
\[ = - 8d + 28d \left( \text { From }(i) \right)\]
\[ = 20d\]
\[RHS: 2 a_{19} = 2\left[ a + \left( 19 - 1 \right)d \right]\]
\[ = 2(a + 18d)\]
\[ = 2a + 36d\]
\[ = 2( - 8d) + 36d \left( \text { From }(i) \right)\]
\[ = - 16d + 36d\]
\[ = 20d\]
LHS = RHS Hence, proved.
