Find the next term of the Ap 3,1,-1,-3.....
Answers
The next term of the AP 3 , 1 , - 1 , - 3 , . . is - 5
Given :
The AP 3 , 1 , - 1 , - 3 , . .
To find :
The next term of the AP
Concept :
If in an arithmetic progression
First term = a
Common difference = d
Then nth term of the AP
= a + ( n - 1 )d
Solution :
Step 1 of 3 :
Write down the given AP
The given AP is 3 , 1 , - 1 , - 3 , . .
Step 2 of 3 :
Find the common difference
1st term = a = 3
2nd term = 1
3rd term = - 1
4th term = - 3
Common Difference = d =
= 2nd term - 1st term
= 1 - 3
= - 2
Step 3 of 3 :
Find the next term
The next term
= 5th term of the AP
= a + ( 5 - 1 ) d
= a + 4d
= 3 + 4 × ( - 2 )
= 3 - 8
= - 5
