The first four terms of an AP whose first term is - 2 and the common difference is - 2 are

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

First term, a = - 2

Second Term, d = - 2

a_{1 =} a = - 2

a_{2 =} a + d = - 2 + (- 2) = - 4 (using formula a_{n =} a + (n - 1)d)

similarly

a_{3 =} - 6

a_{4 =} - 8

so A.P is

- 2, - 4, - 6, - 8
