Q3 of 85 Page 101

Find the nth term of the following A.P.'s:

Formula Used.


dn = an + 1 – an


an = a + (n–1)d


In the above sequence,


a = ;


d1 = a2–a1 = = 1


d2 = a3–a2 = = 1


d3 = a4–a3 = = 1


The difference in sequence is same and comes to be (1).


The above sequence is A.P


The nth term of A.P is an = a + (n–1)d


an = a + (n–1)d = + (n–1)(1)


= + n–1


= n–
