Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
- The fourth term of the A.P is 17
- The seventh term of the A.P is 23
- The 25th term of the A.P
→ The fourth term of an A.P is given by,
a₄ = a₁ + 3d
where a₁ = the first term and d is the common difference
→ By given,
a₁ + 3d = 17----(1)
→ The 7th term of an A.P is given by
a₇ = a₁ + 6d
→ By given,
a₁ + 6d = 23 ------(2)
→ Solve equation 1 and 2 by elimination method,
a₁ + 6d = 23
a₁ + 3d = 17
3d = 6
d = 6/3
d = 2
→ The common difference of the A.P is 2.
→ Substitute the value of d in equation 1
a₁ + 3 × 2 = 17
a₁ + 6 = 17
a₁ = 17 - 6
a₁ = 11
→ The first term of the A.P is 11
→Now we have to find the 25th term which is given by
a₂₅ = a₁ + 24d
→ Substitute the data,
a₂₅ = 11 + 24 × 2
a₂₅ = 11 + 48
a₂₅ = 59
→ Hence the 25th term of the A.P is 59
→ The nth term of an A.P is given by
→ The common difference is given by
