the nth term of an arithmetic progression is an = 4n+5 then the 3rd term is
Answers
an-4n+5
to find - 3 rd term ?
SolUtIoN
ap is
let n-1
4n+5
4*1+5
4+5
=9
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
let n-2
4*2+5
8+5
=13
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, , ,,,,,,,
let n-3
4*3+5
=17
ap is 9,13,17 ,,,,,,,,,,,
hence third term is 17
verifying
an=a+(n-1)d
17=9+(n-1)4
17-9=(n-1)4.
8=(n-1)4
2=(n-1)
2+1=n
3=n

Question :- The nth term of an arithmetic progression is an=4n+5 then the 3rd term is ?
Solution :-
we know that,
- nth term of an AP = a + (n - 1)d
- a = first term .
- d = common difference .
so,
→ a + (n - 1)d = 4n + 5
→ a + (n - 1)d = 4n - 4 + 4 + 5
→ a + (n - 1)d = 9 + 4n - 4
→ a + (n - 1)d = 9 + (n - 1)4
comparing we get,
- a = 9
- d = 4
therefore,
→ a3 = a + (3 - 1)d
→ a3 = 9 + 2*4
→ a3 = 9 + 8
→ a3 = 17 (Ans.)
