. Which term of the AP: 121, 117, 113,..., is
its first negative term?
[Hint: Find n for a, <0]
Answers
Answer:
General term or nth term of A.P
The general term or nth term of A.P is given by an = a + (n – 1)d,
where a is the first term, d is the common difference and n is the number of term.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solution:
Given:first term(a)= 121
common difference (d)= 117- 121 = -4
∵ n th term of an AP
an = a + (n – 1)d
⇒121+(n-1) ×(-4)
⇒121-4n+4
⇒12+4-4n
⇒125 -4n
an= 125 -4n
For first negative term , an <0
⇒ 125-4n<0
⇒125<4n
⇒4n>125
⇒n>125/4
⇒n> 31 1/4
least integral value of n= 32
Hence, 32nd term of the given AP is the first negative term.
