How many terms are there in the AP 41, 38, 35, …, 8?

Answer»

Given: AP is 41, 38, 35,…, 8

Here, first term = a = 41

Last term = 8

Common difference = d = 38 – 41 = -3

To find: the number of terms (n)

Last term = a + (n – 1)d

8 = 41 + (n – 1)(-3)

8 – 41 = (n – 1)(-3)

n – 1 = 11

n = 11 + 1 = 12

There are 12 terms.
