Given,
The AP: 6,10,14,---
To find,
The difference between the 15th and 10th terms of the AP.
Solution,
We can easily solve this problem by following the given steps.
According to the question,
The AP: 6,10,14,---
The first term (a) = 6
Common difference(d) = second term - first term
d = 10-6
d = 4
We know that the following formula is used to find the nth term of the AP:
an = a+(n-1)d where n is the number of the term
a15 = a+(15-1)d
a15 = a+14d
Putting the values of a and d,
a15 = 6+14(4)
a15 = 6+56
a15 = 62
a10 = a+(10-1)d
a10 = a+9d
a10 = 6+9(4)
a10 = 6+36
a10 = 42
Now, the difference between the 15th and 10th term of the AP:
a15-a10
62-42
20
Hence, the 15th term is 20 more than the 10th term of the AP.
