Question
Write the arithmetic progression when first term $a$ and common difference $d$ are as follows:
$a = 4, d = -3.$
$a = 4, d = -3.$
✓
Answer
First term $(a) = 4$
and common difference $(d) = -3$
Second term $= a + d = 4 - 3 = 1$
Third term $= a + 2d = 4 + 2(-3) = 4 - 6 = -2$
Fourth term $= a + 3d = 4 + 3(-3) = 4 - 9 = -5$
Fifth term $= a + 4d = 4 + 4(-3) = 4 - 12 = -8$
$AP$ will be $4, 1, -2, -5, -8, ....$
and common difference $(d) = -3$
Second term $= a + d = 4 - 3 = 1$
Third term $= a + 2d = 4 + 2(-3) = 4 - 6 = -2$
Fourth term $= a + 3d = 4 + 3(-3) = 4 - 9 = -5$
Fifth term $= a + 4d = 4 + 4(-3) = 4 - 12 = -8$
$AP$ will be $4, 1, -2, -5, -8, ....$
