Question

Write the first four terms of the A.P. when the first term $a$ and the common difference $d$ are given as follows: $\left(i\right)a=10,d=10$

Answer 1

Solution.

The $nth$term of an A.P. is given by the expression,

$a_n=a+(n-1)d$

Where $a$ is the first term and $d$ is the common difference.

We have to find the first four terms of the A.P. which has $a=10,d=10$.

$$\begin{gathered} a_1=a=10 \\ {a}_2=a+d=10+10=20 \\ {a}_3=a+2d=10+2\left(10\right)=30 \\ {a}_4=a+3d=10+3\left(10\right)=40 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the first four terms of the given A.P. are $10,20,30,40$.
