Question

if nth term of an ap is pn+q find its common difference​

Answer 1

Answer:

C.D. = p

Step-by-step explanation:

t(n) = p.n + q

We know C.D. is the difference in any 2 arbitrary consecutive terms in A.P.

So C.D. = t(m+1) - t(m)

Thus, C.D. —

= [p(m+1) + q] – [p.m +q]

= pm + p + q – pm – q

= p.
