Question

Find where 0 (zero) is a term of the A.P. 40, 37, 34, 31, ..... .

Answer 1

Answer:

0 is not the term of the given AP.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  

A.P. 40, 37, 34, 31, ..... .

Then ,  

First term , a = 40, common Difference, d = 37 - 40 =  -3

Let, nth term, 'an' of an A.P is 0

By using the formula , nth term ,an = a + (n -1)d

a + (n -1) d = 0

40 + (n -1) (-3) = 0

-3n = - 43

n = 43/3

Number of terms , n can't be a fraction.

Hence, 0 is not the term of the given AP.
