Question

Write first four terms of the A.P. when the first term a and the common difference are given as follows:

(i) a = 10, d = 10
(ii) a = -2, d = 0

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

An arithmetic progression is given by a,(a+d),(a+2d),(a+3d), .

where a= the first term, d= the common difference

(i) 10,10+10,10+2(10) and 10+3(10)=10,20,30 and 40

(ii) −2,−2+(0),−2+2(0) and −2+3(0)=−2,−2,−2 and −2 (this is not an A.P)

(iii) 4,4+(−3),4+2(−3) and 4+3(−3)=4,4−3,4−6 and 4−9=4,1,−2 and −5
