Find the common difference and write the next four terms of each of the following arithmetic progression: 0.3,6,9,......

Open in App
Solution

Ans.
given A.P is
0,3,6,9,....
hence the common difference is given by d=an+1an
by putting n=1 in above equation
d=a2a1=(3)(0)
d=3

first term of this A.P is
a1=0

the nth term of this A.P is given by
an=a1+(n1)d
an=0+(n1)(3)
an=3n+3
an=33n.eq(1)

finding next four terms of A.P
1) for finding the 5th term of sequence (a5) put n=5 in eq(1)
a5=33×5
a5=315
a5=12

2) for finding the 6th term of sequence (a6)put n=6 in eq(1)
a6=33×6
a6=318
a6=15

3) for finding the 7th term of sequence (a7)put n=7 in eq(1)
a7=33×7
a7=321
a7=18

4) for finding the 8th term of sequence (a8)put n=8 in eq(1)
a8=43×8
a8=324
a8=21
