Question

If 73 Is The Term Of The 3,8,13,18.. Then M Is

Answer 1

Answer:

Given :

The nᵗʰ term of ap is 3, 8, 14, 18 is 73.

To Find :

The value of n.

Using Formula :

$\star \:\underline{\boxed{\sf{\pink{d = a_2 - a_1}}}}$

• $\rm{d}$ = common difference
• $\rm{a_1}$ = first term
• $\rm{a_2}$ = second term

$\star \:\underline{\boxed{\sf{\pink{a_n =a_1 + \bigg(n - 1 \bigg)d}}}}$

• $\rm{a_n}$ = the nᵗʰ term 
• $\rm{a}$ = first term
• $\rm{n}$ = number of terms
• $\rm{d}$ = common difference

Solution :

Firstly, finding the common difference between the consecutive terms.

${\implies{\sf{d = a_2 - a_1}}}$

${\implies{\sf{d = 8 - 5}}}$

${\implies{\sf{\underline{\underline{\red{d = 3}}}}}}$

Hence, the common difference between the terms is 3.

$\rule{300}{1.5}$

Now, finding the value of n by substituting the values in the formula :

${\implies{\sf{a_n =a_1 + \bigg(n - 1 \bigg)d}}}$

${\implies{\sf{73=3 + \bigg(n - 1 \bigg)5}}}$

${\implies{\sf{73 - 3=\bigg(n - 1 \bigg)5}}}$

${\implies{\sf{70=\bigg(n - 1 \bigg)5}}}$

${\implies{\sf{70=5n - 5}}}$

${\implies{\sf{5n = 70 + 5}}}$

${\implies{\sf{5n = 75}}}$

${\implies{\sf{n = \dfrac{75}{5}}}}$

${\implies{\sf{n = \cancel{\dfrac{75}{5}}}}}$

${\implies{\sf{\underline{\underline{\red{n = 15}}}}}}$

Hence, the value of n is 5.

Answer 2

Answer:

here izz ur answer

The formula for nth term of an AP is aₙ = a + (n - 1) d

The given arithmetic progression is 3, 8, 13, 18, ...

First term: a = 3

Second term: a + d = 8

Common difference: d = 8 - 3 = 5

aₙ = a + (n - 1) d

aₙ = 78, n = ?

3 + (n - 1) 5 = 78

5(n - 1) = 78 - 3

n - 1 = 15

n = 16

78 is the 16th term of the given AP.
