0-2 write the comed number in the boxes from the
following A.P
-3 -8 -13 -18
Answers
Here a = -3
d = a + (-8)
d = (-3) -(8)
d = -5
____________
So the difference between two numbers is -5.
➭Let us complete AP further.
-3, -8 , -13 , -18 , -23, -28 , -33 , -38
Just add -5 to every number.
Question:-
Write the next number in the boxes from the following A.P -3 -8 -13 -18.
➴ Numbers are -3, -8, -13, -18
➴ To find next numbers
_________________
a = -3
d = -5
➦ a1 = a = -3
➦ a2 = a1 + d =
-3 + (-5) = -8
➦ a3 = a2 + d
-8 + ( -5) = -13
➦a4 = a3 + d
-13 + (-5) = -18
--------------°°°
Similarly it will goes on and we will get
➭ -3, -8, -13, -18, -23, -28

➴What is Arithmetic Progression (A.P)
➺Successive terms are obtained by adding a fixed number of preceding term. This is called Arithmetic Progressions.
➴ Here a is the first term.
➴ Here d is the common difference.
