Question

Check Whether - 150 is
a term
of AP 13, 9,5....
plz explain in detail plzzz​

Answer 1

Answer: Here,  

a = 11

d = 8 - 11 = - 3

Let - 150 be the nth term of the given A.P.

We know that,

an = a + (n - 1)d

⇒ - 150 = 11 + (n - 1) - 3

⇒ - 150 = 11 - 3n + 3

⇒ (- 150) + (- 14) = - 3n

⇒ - 3n = - 164

⇒ 3n = 164

⇒ n = 164/3

So, it is clear that n is not an integer.

Therefore, - 150 is not a term of the given A.P.
