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 = =


d2 = a3–a2 = =


d3 = a4–a3 = =


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


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
