Find the 30th term of the AP 10,7,4........In this question, can you expline how we get the common difference.?

Answer»

Answer:

-77 (COMMON difference means the difference between 2 consecutive terms or constant)

Step-by-step explanation:

LET a be the first term

n be the no. of terms

d be the difference

The formula for A.P. = a + (n - 1)d

a = 10

n = 30

d = -3(as it is descending)

a + (n - 1)d

10 + (30 - 1)*(-3)

10 + (-87)

10 - 87

-77

Conclusion

∴ the 30th term is -77

Hope you UNDERSTOOD :)
