Given A.P is
−1,−56,−23,....
the common difference of an A.P is given by d=an+1−an
by putting n=1 in above equation
d=a2−a1=−(56)−(−1)
d=−56+1
d=16
first term of this A.P is
a1=−1
the nth term of this A.P is given by
an=a1+(n−1)d
⟹an=−1+(n−1)(16)
⟹an=−1+16n−16
⟹an=−76+16n….eq(1)
finding next four terms of A.P
1) for finding the 4th term of sequence (a4) put n=4 in eq(1)
⟹a4=−76+16×4
⟹a4=−76+46
⟹a4=−36
⟹a4=−12
2) for finding the 5th term of sequence (a5) put n=5 in eq(1)
⟹a5=−76+16×5
⟹a5=−76+56
⟹a5=−26
⟹a5=−13
3) for finding the 6th term of sequence (a6) put n=6 in eq(1)
⟹a6=−76+16×6
⟹a6=−76+66
⟹a6=−16
4) for finding the 7th term of sequence (a7) put n=7 in eq(1)
⟹a7=−76+16×7
⟹a7=−76+76
⟹a7=0
