1) In an A.P if S10 = 35 and S9
= 28 find a10
Answers
a10=Sn-Sn-1
=S10-S10-1
=S10-Sn
=35-28
a10=7
In an AP if S₁₀ = 35 and S₉ = 28 then a₁₀ = 7
Given :
In an AP S₁₀ = 35 and S₉ = 28
To find :
The value of a₁₀
Solution :
Step 1 of 2 :
Write down the given data
Here it is given that for an AP
S₁₀ = 35 and S₉ = 28
Step 2 of 2 :
Find the value of a₁₀
We have
aₙ = nth term of the AP
Sₙ = The sum of the first n terms of the AP
Thus we get
a₁₀
= 10th term of the AP
= ( a₁ + a₂ + a₃ + a₄ + a₅ + a₆ + a₇ + a₈ + a₉ + a₁₀ ) - ( a₁ + a₂ + a₃ + a₄ + a₅ + a₆ + a₇ + a₈ + a₉ )
= The sum of the first 10 terms of the AP - The sum of the first 9 terms of the AP
= S₁₀ - S₉
= 35 - 28
= 7
