Q4(xv):
Which of the following are APs ? If they form an AP, find the common difference $d$ and write three more terms.
(xv) $1^2, 5^2, 7^2, 73, . . .$
Solution :
Given: A sequence of numbers: $1^2, 5^2, 7^2, 73, \dots$
To Find: Determine if the sequence forms an Arithmetic Progression (AP). If it does, find the common difference $d$ and the next three terms.
Step 1: Simplifying the terms of the sequence
Let the given sequence be denoted by $a_1, a_2, a_3, a_4, \dots$
Calculating the values of each term:
$a_1 = 1^2 = 1$
$a_2 = 5^2 = 25$
$a_3 = 7^2 = 49$
$a_4 = 73$
The sequence is: $1, 25, 49, 73, \dots$
Step 2: Checking for a common difference
A sequence is an AP if the difference between consecutive terms ($a_{n+1} - a_n$) is constant. This constant is called the common difference $d$.
Calculate the difference between the first and second terms ($d_1$):
$d_1 = a_2 - a_1 = 25 - 1 = 24$
Calculate the difference between the second and third terms ($d_2$):
$d_2 = a_3 - a_2 = 49 - 25 = 24$
Calculate the difference between the third and fourth terms ($d_3$):
$d_3 = a_4 - a_3 = 73 - 49 = 24$
[Since $d_1 = d_2 = d_3 = 24$, the difference between consecutive terms is constant.]
Step 3: Conclusion on AP status
Because the difference between consecutive terms is constant ($d = 24$), the given sequence forms an Arithmetic Progression.
Step 4: Finding the next three terms
To find the next three terms ($a_5, a_6, a_7$), we add the common difference $d = 24$ to the preceding term.
Fifth term ($a_5$):
$a_5 = a_4 + d = 73 + 24 = 97$
Sixth term ($a_6$):
$a_6 = a_5 + d = 97 + 24 = 121$
Seventh term ($a_7$):
$a_7 = a_6 + d = 121 + 24 = 145$
Final Answer: The sequence forms an AP with a common difference $d = 24$. The next three terms are 97, 121, and 145.
