Question

Write an A.P. whose first term is a and common difference is d in the following.

a = –7, d = `1/2`
Sum
Advertisements

Solution

a = –7, d = `1/2`

t1 = a = –7

t2 = a + d = `-7 + 1/2 = (-14 + 1)/2 = (-13)/2`

t3 = a + 2d = `-7 + 2(1/2)` = –7 + 1 = –6

t4 = a + 3d = `-7 + 3(1/2) = -7 + 3/2 = (-14 + 3)/2 = (-11)/2`

∴ A.P. is `-7, (-13)/2, -6, (-11)/2 .......`

∴ A.P. is –7, –6.5, –6, –5.5 ........
