- n = term number
- Sn = sum of first n terms
- a = First term
- an = nth term
- l = last term
- d = common difference
here, we will use following fomulas,
_________________________
viii) to find : value of first term and n
we have,
- an = 4
- d = 2
and
we have,
- Sn = -14
- d = 2
we get two equations,
- a = 6 - 2n .........(i)
- -14 = n(a + n -1) ........(ii)
now, substitute the value of a from (i) in (ii)
➪ -14 = n ( 6 - 2n + n - 1 )
➪ -14 = n ( 5 - n )
➪ - 14 = 5n - n²
➪ n² - 5n - 14 = 0
now, solve this quadratic equation.
n² - 5n - 14 = 0
➪ n² - 7n + 2n - 14 = 0
➪ n(n - 7) + 2(n - 7) = 0
➪ (n - 7) (n + 2) = 0
➪ n - 7 = 0 and n + 2 = 0
➪ n = 7 and n = -2(not possible)
now, substitute the value of n in (i)
➪ a = 6 - 2 × 7
➪ a = 6 - 14
➪ a = -8
hence, value of n is 7 and a is -8
__________________________
ix) to find : common difference
we have,
- a = 3
- n = 8
- Sn = 192
now,
an = a + (n - 1)d
➪ 45 = 3 + (8 - 1)d
➪ 45 = 3 + 7d
➪ 7d = 45 - 3
➪ 7d = 42
➪ d = 42/7
➪ d = 6
so, value of d is 6

x) to find : first term
we have,
- l = 28
- Sn = 144
- n = 9
so, value of a is 4
