Write the algebraic form of 1,4,7,10,… is 100 a term of this sequence. Why? Prove that the square of any term of this sequence belongs to that sequence. |

Answer» 1,4, 7, 10,… f = 1, d = 3 xn = dn + (f – d) = 3n + (1 – 3) = 3n – 2 When 4 is divided by 3 we get remainder as 1 When 100 is divided by 3 we get remainder as 1 So, 100 is a term of the arithmetic sequence. Square = (3n – 2)2 = 9n2 – 12n + 4 (9n2 – 12n + 4) + 3 When 9n2 – 12n + 4 is divided by 3the remainder is 1. So square of the term also in the sequence. ∴ The square of any term of this sequence belongs to that sequence. |
