Q3 of 85 Page 101

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

1.1, 2.1, 3.1, 4.1, ...

Formula Used.


dn = an + 1 – an


an = a + (n–1)d


In the above sequence,


a = 1.1;


d1 = a2–a1 = 2.1–1.1 = 1


d2 = a3–a2 = 3.1–2.1 = 1


d3 = a4–a3 = 4.1–3.1 = 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 = 1.1 + (n–1)(1)


= 1.1 + n–1


= 0.1 + n
