Question

If 8 times the 8th term of an AP is equal to 15 times its 15th term then find the 23rd term

Answer 1

Hello
---------

According to the question,

8 × (a + 7d) = 15 × (a + 14d)

=> 8a + 56d = 15a + 210d

=> 15a - 8a = 56d - 210d

=> 7a = - 154d

=> 7a + 154d = 0

=> 7(a + 22d) = 0

=> a + 22d = 0/7 = 0

=> a + 22d = 0

So, 23rd term = (a + 22d) = 0

HOPE IT HELPS

GIVEN:

In an AP ,,,

8 t8 = 15 t15

TO FIND :

The 23th term of an AP, t23 = ?

SOLUTION:

The general term,tn

$tn = a + (n - 1)d$

where a is the first term

d is the common difference

n is the nth term of an AP.

8 t8 = 15 t15

8 [ a + ( 8 - 1) d ] = 15 [ a + ( 15 - 1 ) d ]

8 [ a + 7d ] = 15 [ a + 14d]

8a + 56d = 15a + 210 d

8a - 15a = 210 d - 56d

-7a = 154 d

a / d = -154 / 7

a / d = - 22

d = -a /22

SUBSTITUTE THE VALUE OF d ,,

t23 = a + ( 23 -1) d

= a + 22d

= a + 22 ( - a /22)

= a - a

t23 = 0
