Question

The nth term of progression is (5n-2) show that it is AP find the first term and common difference

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

nth term of AP: 5n-2

Substituting value of n

n=1; 5 (1)-2 =3

n=2; 5 (2)-2 = 8

n=3; 5 (3)-2=13

thus the sequence is increasing constantly by the value of 5 it is an AP

a=3 ; d=a2-a1 = 8-3=5

Thus the first term of the AP is 3 and the common difference is 5
