If tn = 2n – 5 is the nth term of an A.P., then find its first five terms

योग

उत्तर

tn = 2n – 5    ......[Given]

∴ t1 = 2(1) – 5 = 2 – 5 = – 3

t2 = 2(2) – 5 = 4 – 5 = – 1

t3 = 2(3) – 5 = 6 – 5 = 1

t4 = 2(4) – 5 = 8 – 5 = 3

t5 = 2(5) – 5 = 10 – 5 = 5

∴ The first five terms of A.P. are – 3, – 1, 1, 3, 5.

How many two-digit numbers are divisible by 5?

Activity :-  Two-digit numbers divisible by 5 are, 10, 15, 20, ......, 95.

Here, d = 5, therefore this sequence is an A.P.

Here, a = 10, d = 5, tn = 95, n = ?

tn = a + (n − 1) `square`

`square` = 10 + (n – 1) × 5

`square` = (n – 1) × 5

`square` = (n – 1)

Therefore n = `square`

There are `square` two-digit numbers divisible by 5


Decide whether 301 is term of given sequence 5, 11, 17, 23, .....

Activity :-  Here, d = `square`, therefore this sequence is an A.P.

a = 5, d = `square`

Let nth term of this A.P. be 301

tn = a + (n – 1) `square`

301 = 5 + (n – 1) × `square`

301 = 6n – 1

n = `302/6` = `square`

But n is not positive integer.

Therefore, 301 is `square` the term of sequence 5, 11, 17, 23, ......
