The tenth term of a arithmetic sequence is 82 with a common difference 8.which term is 250?
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
tenth term is a^n=a+(n-1)d
82=a+9×8
82=a+72
a=10
then, now we have the valued of
a=10,d=8,a^n=250,n=?
250=10+(n-1)8
250=10+8n-8
250-2=8n
248/8=n
n=31
31st term
Step-by-step explanation:
QUESTION :-
The 10th term of a Arithmetic sequence is 82 with a common difference 8. which term is 250 ?
_________________________
SOLUTION :-
Formula related to A.P., we will use
here,
- n = nth term of A.P.
- a = 1st term of A.P.
- d = common difference
_________________________
Now,
- 10th term of A.P. is 82, common difference is 8.
putting the value in formula,
10th term = a + (10-1)8 = 82
=> a + (9)8 = 82
=> a + 72 = 82
=> a = 82-72
=> a = 10
________________________
- which term of A.P. is 250.
Let us consider 250 as nth term, so,
nth term = a + (n - 1)d = 250
=> 10 + (n - 1)8 = 250
=> (n - 1)8 = 250 - 10
=> 8n - 8 = 240
=> 8n = 240+ 8
=> 8n = 248
=> n = 248/8
=> n = 31
Hence, 250 is 31st term of this A.P.
