The common difference of the AP is 2
Given :
The nth term of an AP is 2n + 3
To find :
The common difference of the AP
Solution :
Step 1 of 3 :
Write down nth term of the AP
Here the nth term of an AP is 2n + 3
Step 2 of 3 :
Find the AP
Putting n = 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , . . . . we get the AP as 5 , 7 , 9 , 11 , . . . .
Step 3 of 3 :
Find common difference of the AP
First term = 5
Second Term = 7
Third term = 9
Fourth term = 11
Now common difference is defined as the difference between the successive term and its preceding term.
Then common difference of the AP
= Second Term - First term
= 7 - 5
= 2
Note :
The common difference of the AP can be find as below :
Then common difference of the AP
= nth term of the AP - (n - 1)th term of the AP
= (2n + 3) - [ 2(n - 1) + 3 ]
= (2n + 3) - (2n - 2 + 3)
= (2n + 3) - (2n + 1)
= 2n + 3 - 2n - 1
= 2
