How to find the nth term an Arithmetic progression

Question   Find the number of terms in an Ap given that its first and last terms are a and 37a respectively and that its common difference is 4a. Solution nth term of AP Tn = a +(n-1)d From the question First term a = a Last term Tn = 37a Common difference d = 4a Number of terms n =? Substitute a, Tn and d into the nth term formula Tn = a +(n-1)d 37a = a +(n-1)4a Collect like terms 37a-a = (n-1)4a 36a = (n-1)4a Divide through by 4a 36a/4a = (n-1)4a/4a 9 = n-1 make n subject formula n = 9+1 n = 10 The AP as 10 terms

Arithmetic Progression

How to calculate the common difference when the first term and the nth term is know.  Question: The 28th term of an AP is -5. Find the common difference if its first term is 31. Solution T1 = a ( First term of the sequence) a = 31 T28 = -5 (28th term of the sequence) d = ? (common difference) Recall the nth term formula of Ap i.e  Tn = a + (n-1)d        Substitute 28 for n to get the following equation        T28 = a + (28-1)d          T28     = a + 27d        Substitute T28 for -5 and 31 for a  in the equation above               -5     = 31 + 27d          Subtract 31 from both sides of the equation         -5 -31 = 27d          -36 = 27d        Divide through by 27        -36/27  =  27d/27 ...
