determine the AP whose fifth term is 19 and difference of the 8 term from the 13th term is 20
Answers
Answer:
The A.P is 3, 7, 11, 15, 19, 23, 27, 31, 35, 39, 43, 47, 51, 55, 59, 63, 67, 71, 75........
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'a' be the first term and 'd' be the common difference.
By formula, Nth term = a + (n-1)d
5th term = a + (5-1)d
thus, 19 = a + 4d (equation 1)
8th term = a + 7d
13th term = a + 12d
(a + 12d) - (a + 7d) = 20
a + 12d - a - 7d = 20
5d = 20
thus d = 4
so, a = 19 - 4d (from equation 1)
= 19 - 16 = 3
so, first term is 3 and 4 gets added on every step
thus we get, 3, 7, 11..................

Let a and d are first term and common difference of an A . P.
nth term = tn = a + ( n - 1 )d----------( 1 )
i) Given t 5 = 19
a + 4d = 19 -------(2)
ii ) differnce of the eighth term from
the thirteeth term = 20
t 13 - t 8 = 20
a + 12d - ( a + 7d ) = 20
a + 12d - a - 7d = 20
5d = 20
d = 20/ 5
d = 5
Put d = 5 in ( 2 )
a + 4d = 19
a + 4 × 5 = 19
a + 20 = 19
a = 19 - 20
a = - 1
Therefore,
a = -1 , d = 5
Required A .P is
a , a+ d , a + 2d , a + 3d , .....
-1 , 4 , 9 , 14, 19 , ....
