प्रश्न

Write the sequence with nth term an = 5 + 2n

उत्तर

In the given problem, we are given the sequence with the nth term `(a_n)`.

We need to show that these sequences form an A.P

an = 5 + 2n

Now, to show that it is an A.P, we will find its few terms by substituting  n =1, 2, 3

So

Substituting n = 1we get

`a_1 = 5 + 2(1)`

`a_1 = 7`

Substituting n = 2we get

`a_2 = 5 + 2(2)`

`a_2 = 9`

Substituting n = 3we get

`a_3 = 5 + 2(3)`

`a_3 = 11`

Further, for the given to sequence to be an A.P,

Common difference (d)  = `a_2 - a_1 = a_3 - a_2`

Here

`a_2 - a_1 = 9 - 7`

= 2

Also

`a_3 - a_2 = 11 - 9`

= 2

Since `a_2 - a_1 = a_3 - a_2`

Hence, the given sequence is an A.P

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.
