Find whether 55 is a term of ap7,10,13....
Answers
Answer:
Yes, it is.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given AP is 7,10,13,.....
The first term of the AP is a=7
The common difference of the AP is d=3
We know that, the nth term of an AP is equal to a+(n-1)d
where a is the first term and d is the common difference and also n is a natural number.
Now, suppose 55 is a term of this AP
and let 55 be the nth term of this AP
If the value of this n comes out to be a natural number then 55 is indeed a term of this AP. But if it doesn't come out to be a natural number then 55 is not a term of this AP.
Now,
55=a+(n-1)d
55=7+(n-1)3
48=(n-1)3
16=n-1
This implies n=17
This is a natural number and hence our assumption that 55 is a term of this AP is correct.
So, 55 is a term of this AP and it is in fact the 17th term.
