Find the nth term of the A.P. 13, 8, 3, −2, ...

उत्तर

nth term of the A.P. 13, 8, 3, −2, ...

Here

First term (a) = 13

Common difference of the A.P. (d) = 8 - 13

= -5

Now, as we know,

`a_n = a + (n - 1)d`

So for nth term

`a_n = a + (n -1)d`

`= 13 + (n - 1)(-5)`

`= 13 - 5n + 5`

= 18 - 5n

Therefore the nth term of the given A.P is `a_n = 18 - 5n`

Case Study

Push-ups are a fast and effective exercise for building strength. These are helpful in almost all sports including athletics. While the push-up primarily targets the muscles of the chest, arms, and shoulders, support required from other muscles helps in toning up the whole body.


Nitesh wants to participate in the push-up challenge. He can currently make 3000 push-ups in one hour. But he wants to achieve a target of 3900 push-ups in 1 hour for which he practices regularly. With each day of practice, he is able to make 5 more push-ups in one hour as compared to the previous day. If on first day of practice he makes 3000 push-ups and continues to practice regularly till his target is achieved. Keeping the above situation in mind answer the following questions:

  1. Form an A.P representing the number of push-ups per day and hence find the minimum number of days he needs to practice before the day his goal is accomplished?
  2. Find the total number of push-ups performed by Nitesh up to the day his goal is achieved.
