Decide whether the following sequence is an A.P., if so find the 20th term of the progression:

–12, –5, 2, 9, 16, 23, 30, ..............

बेरीज

उत्तर

Here a = t1 = first term = – 12, t2 = – 5,

Common difference = d = t2 – t1

d = – 5 – (– 12)

= – 5 + 12

∴ d = 7

We know that, tn = a + (n – 1)d

Here, n = 20, a = – 12, d = 7

∴ t20 = – 12 + (20 – 1)7

= – 12 + 133

t20 = 121

∴ 20th term of the progression is 121.

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, ......
