If 4 times the fourth term of an A.P. is equal to 7 times the 7th term, find its 11th ter
Answers
Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
nth term of ap,
a(n) = a+(n-1)d.
Fourth term of ap,
a(4) = a+(4-1)d = a+3d
Seventh term of ap,
a(7) = a+(7-1)d = a+6d
equating 4* a(4)= 7* a(7),
- 4(a+3d) = 7(a+6d)
- 4a + 12d = 7a + 42d
- 3a = -30d
- a = -10d
- a+10d = 0 --------------- eq.1
The 11th term of ap,
a(11) = a+(11-1)d = a+ 10d = 0 -----[ from eq.1 ]
So, a(11) = 0.

EXPLANATION.
4 times the fourth term of an A.P. is equal to 7 times the 7th terms of an A.P.
As we know that,
General term of an A.P.
⇒ Tₙ = a + (n - 1)d.
⇒ 4(T₄) = 7(T₇).
⇒ 4(a + 3d) = 7(a + 6d).
⇒ 4a + 12d = 7a + 42d.
⇒ 12d - 42d = 7a - 4a.
⇒ -30d = 3a.
⇒ -10d = a.
11th terms of an A.P.
⇒ T₁₁ = a + (11 - 1)d.
⇒ T₁₁ = a + 10d.
⇒ T₁₁ = -10d + 10d.
⇒ T₁₁ = 0.

Supposition of terms in A.P.
(1) = Three terms as : a - d, a, a + d.
(2) = Four terms as : a - 3d, a - d, a + d, a + 3d.
(3) = Five terms as : a - 2d, a - d, a, a + d, a + 2d.
