Question
Write the first three terms of the APs when a and d are as given below: $a = -5, d = -3$
✓
Answer
Given that, first term $(a) = -5$ and common difference$ (d) = -3$
$\because$ $n^{th}$ term of an AP, $T_n = a + (n - 1)d$
$\therefore$ second term of an AP, $T_2 = a + d = -5 - 3 = -8$
and third term of an AP, $T_3 = a + 2d = -5 + 2(-3)$
$T_3= -5 - 6 = -11$
Hence, requied three term are $-5, -8, -11.$
