Form an arithmetic progression with the first term and the common difference
a) First term $= - 5$ and common difference = $8$
b) First term $= 15$ and common difference $= 12$

Solution

a) With the first term , a as $- 5$ and the common difference d as $8$ , we can form the arithmetic progression as $- 5, - 5 + 8, - 5 + 8 + 8, - 5 + 8 + 8 + 8, . . .$ Thus this is written as $- 5, 3, 11, 19, . . .$ Thus this is the required arithmetic progression for the first term $= - 5$ and common difference $= 8$

b) With the first term , a as $15$ and the common difference d as $12$ , we can form the arithmetic progression as $15, 15 + 12, 15 + 12 + 12$ , $15 + 12 + 12 + 12, . . .$ Thus this is written as $15, 27, 39, 51, . . .$ Thus this is the required arithmetic progression for the first term $= 15$ and common difference = $12$
