Find:
the 9th term of the AP
Here, First term = a = 3/4
Common difference = d = 5/4 - 3/4 = 2/4
To find = 9th term, ∴ n = 9
Using the formula for finding nth term of an A.P.,
an = a + (n - 1) × d
∴ an = (3/4) + (9 - 1) × (2/4)
⇒ an = 3/4 + 8 × (2/4) = 3/4 + 16/4 = 19/4
∴ 9th term of the given AP is 19/4.
