Q1(iv):
Fill in the blanks in the following table, given that $a$ is the first term, $d$ the common difference and $a_n$ the $n$th term of the AP:
(iv) $a=β18.9, d=2.5, n=..., a_n=3.6$
Solution :
Given:
The first term of the Arithmetic Progression (AP), $a = -18.9$
The common difference of the AP, $d = 2.5$
The $n^{th}$ term of the AP, $a_n = 3.6$
To find:
The number of terms, $n$.
Formula:
The $n^{th}$ term of an Arithmetic Progression is given by the formula:
$a_n = a + (n - 1)d$
Step 1: Substitution of given values into the formula
Substitute $a = -18.9$, $d = 2.5$, and $a_n = 3.6$ into the formula $a_n = a + (n - 1)d$:
$3.6 = -18.9 + (n - 1)(2.5)$
Step 2: Isolating the term containing $n$
Add $18.9$ to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with $(n-1)$:
$3.6 + 18.9 = (n - 1)(2.5)$
$22.5 = (n - 1)(2.5)$
Step 3: Solving for $(n - 1)$
Divide both sides of the equation by $2.5$:
$\frac{22.5}{2.5} = n - 1$
[Since $\frac{22.5}{2.5} = \frac{225}{25} = 9$]
$9 = n - 1$
Step 4: Solving for $n$
Add $1$ to both sides of the equation:
$n = 9 + 1$
$n = 10$
Conclusion:
By substituting the given values into the standard formula for the $n^{th}$ term of an AP and performing algebraic simplification, we determine that the number of terms $n$ is $10$.
Final Answer: n = 10
