Question

___, 38,___,___,___, - 22
In the following AP, find the missing terms....

Answer 1

let the common difference be d

last term = -22

2nd term = 38

-22 - (2-1)d = 38

-d = 38 + 22

d = -60

ist term = 38 -(- 60 ) = 38 + 60 = 98

Answer 2

a+ d = 38

- a+5d=-22

---------------

-4d=60

d=-15

#first term:-

a+d=38

a+(-15)=38

a=53

#third term:-

a+2d=?

53-2×15=23

#fourth term:-

a+3d=?

53-3×15=8

#fifth term:-

a+4d=?

53-4×15=7
