The 4th term of an A.P is 9.

Formula

Sum of 'n' term of an A.P

The sum of AP's first n terms is the sum(addition) of the arithmetic sequence's first n terms.

It is equal to n divided by 2 times the product of the difference between the second and first terms-'d' also known as common difference, and  (n-1), where n is the number of terms to be added.

S_{n} =\frac{n}{2} [2a+(n-1)d]

nth term of an A.P

An AP's nth term is sometimes referred to as the AP's general term.

a_{th} =a+(n-1)d

Given:

The sum of the first six terms of an AP is 48.

The common difference is 2.

Total number of terms in A.P is 6.

Explanation:

Put the value of sum, common difference and first term in the sum formula.

Calculate the value of first term 'a'.

48 =\frac{6}{2} [2a+(6-1)2]

Solving equation for the value of a.

First term a=3.

Put the value of a = 3, d = 2, n = 4 in nth formula and calculate 4th term.

a_{4} =3=(4-1)2

a_{4} =9

Thus the 4th term of an A.P is a_{4} =9.
