If the sum of the first 'n' terms of an AP is 4n-n^2, what is the first term (S1) ? What is the sum of the first two terms? What is the second term? Similarly find the 3rd , the 10th and the nth term.

Given that,
Sn = 4n − n2
First term, a = S1 = 4(1) − (1)2 = 4 − 1 = 3
Sum of first two terms = S2
= 4(2) − (2)2 = 8 − 4 = 4
Second term, a2 = S2 − S1 = 4 − 3 = 1
d = a2 − a = 1 − 3 = −2
an = a + (n − 1)d
= 3 + (n − 1) (−2)
= 3 − 2n + 2
= 5 − 2n
a10 = 5 − 2(10) = 5 − 20 = −15
