If ph term of A.P. is q and qth term is p, then (p+q) term is??​

Sagot :

If the pth term of an arithmetic progression is q and qth term is p then the (p+q) th term is 0.

Given that the p th term of an A.P is q aand q th term is p.

We are required to find the (p+q) th term of that A.P.

Arithmetic progression is a sequence in which all the terms have common difference between them.

N th term of an A.P.=a+(n-1)d

p th term=a+(p-1)d

q=a+(p-1)d-------1

q th term=a+(q-1)d

p=a+(q-1)d---------2

Subtract equation 2 by 1.

q-p==a+(p-1)d-a-(q-1)d

q-p=pd-qd-d+d

q-p=d(p-q)

d=(p-q)/(q-p)

d=-(p-q)/(p-q)

d=-1

Put the value of d in 1.

q=a+(p-1)(-1)

q=a-p+1

a=q+p-1

(p+q) th term=a+(n-1)d

=q+p-1+(p+q-1)(-1)

=q+p-1-p-q+1

=0

Hence if the pth term of an A.P is q and qth term is p then the (p+q) th term is 0.
