Answers
Answer:
please Mark me as brainlist koi mujhe bhi thanks kar do
Step-by-step explanation:
a = 19
d = 16-19= -3
an = -53
a+(n-1)d = -53
19+(n-1)-3 = -53
(n-1) = -72/-3
n =24+1 = 25
middle term = 25+1/2 = 26/2 = 13
therefore,a+12d = 19-36 = -17
here is your answer
hope it helps you
Given : AP 19,16,13,10.......-53
To find : Middle term
Solution:
Lets firs find total number of term
a = first term = 19
last term = - 53
d = 16 - 19 = - 3
nth term = a + (n-1)d
=> -53 = 19 + (n-1)(-3)
=> -72 = (n-1)(-3)
=> 24 = n - 1
=> n = 25
there are 25 terms
so middle term = ( 1 + 25)/2 = 13 th term
13th term = a + (13-1)d
=> middle term = 19 + 12 * (-3)
=> middle term = 19 - 36
=> middle term = - 17
-17 will be middle term
a Tip :
if number of terms are odd then
middle term = ( first term + last term)/2 = (19 - 53)/2 = -17
