(ii) 2, 5, 3, 7.
2 2
(iv) - 10, -6, -2,2, ...
(iii) - 1.2, -3.2, -5.2,- 7.2,...
(v) 3, 3 + V2, 3+ 212, 3+372, ...
(vi) 0.2, 0.22, 0.222,0.2222,...
(vii) 0,-4,-8,-12,...
​

Answer 1

Answer:

4) common difference=-4,the next three terms are 6,10,14

3) common difference=-2.2, the next three terms are -9.2,-11.2,-13.2

7) common difference =-4, the next three terms are-16,-20,-24

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

a,b,c are said to be in AP if the common difference between any two consecutive number of the series is same ie b−a=c−b⇒2b=a+c

(i) It is not in AP, as the difference between consecutive terms is different.

(ii) It is in AP with common difference d=

(iii) It is in AP with common difference d=−3.2+1.2=−2 ,and a=−1.2

Next three terms are

a+(5−1)d=−9.2,

a+(6−1)d=−11.2,

a+(7−1)d=−13.2

(iv) It is in AP with common difference d=−6+10=4, and

a=−10

Next three terms are

a+(5−1)d=6,

a+(6−1)d=10,

a+(7−1)d=14

(v) It is in AP with common difference d=3+

a=3

Next three terms are

a+(5−1)d=3+4

a+(6−1)d=3+5

a+(7−1)d=3+6

(vi) It is not in AP since 0.22−0.2



=0.222−0.22

(vii) It is in AP with common difference d=−4−0=−4 and a=0,

Next three terms are

a+(5−1)d=−16,

a+(6−1)d=−20,

a+(7−1)d=−24

(viii) It is in AP, with common difference 0, therefore next three terms will also be same as previous ones, i.e., −

(ix) It is not in AP since 3−1



=9−3

(x) It is in AP with common difference d=2a−a=a and first term is a,

Next three terms are

a+(5−1)d=5a,

a+(6−1)d=6a,

a+(7−1)d=7a

(xi) It is not in AP, as the difference is not constant.

(xii) It is in AP with common difference d=

and a=

Next three terms are

a+(5−1)d=5

(xiii) It is not in AP as difference is not constant.

(xiv) It is not in AP as difference is not constant.

(xv) It is in AP with common difference d=5

−1=24 and a=1,

Next three terms are

a+(5−1)d=97,

a+(6−1)d=121,

a+(7−1)d=145
