Q1 of 67 Page 65

Find the first term a and the common difference d for the following arithmetic progressions -

-7, -9, -11, -13, ……

Comparing the given arithmetic progression with general form,
We get, a = -7
and common difference = difference of two consecutive term
i.e. (–9) – (-7) = 2, (-11) – (-9) = -2.


Hence, First term a = -7 and common arithmetic difference = -2.
