Prove that if the number of terms of an A.P is odd then the middle term is the A.M between the first and last term???​

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

Proved that when number of terms of an A.P is odd then the middle term is the A .M between the first and last term

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

To prove: If the number of terms of an A.P is odd then the middle term is the A .M between the first and last term

Proof:

Let the arithmetic progression be:

a, a + d, a + 2d, ........., (2n + 1) terms

As the number of terms are odd, the nth term is (2n + 1)

The middle term of (2n + 1)th term is:

\rightarrow \frac{(2n + 1 + 1)}{2} = \frac{2n + 2}{2}= (n + 1)

Hence middle term is (n + 1)th term

The formula for nth term of arithmetic progression is:

a_n = a + (n - 1)d  ------- (i)

Where n is the terms location and "d" is the common difference between terms

Thus middle term is: (n + 1)th term

From (i)

\text{ middle term } = a + (n + 1 - 1)d = a + nd  ----- (ii)

Arithmetic mean between first and last term:

The nth term is (2n + 1)

Hence nth term (last term) is:

From (i)

\rightarrow a + (2n + 1 - 1)d = a + 2nd

So Arithmetic mean between 1st & last term is:

First term of A.P = a

Arithmetic mean between first and last term = (first term + last term)/2

\rightarrow \frac{a + a + 2nd}{2}\\\\\rightarrow \frac{2a + 2nd}{2}\\\\\rightarrow a + nd  ----- (iii)

Thus from steps (ii) and (iii)

Middle term = AM of 1st and last terms [Proved]

Thus proved that when number of terms of an A.P is odd then the middle term is the A .M between the first and last term

HELP ASAP!!!! SO STUCK ON THIS! Will give brainliest IF CORRECT! :) please help! Be sure please!

If I can read the #'s correctly:
add the yes answers together 23+147 = 170
add the no answers together 112+48= 160

so your ratio of haves to have nots is 170 to 160

but both sides can be divided by 10, so it can be simplified to 17 to 16.

Good Luck!

What is 8 and 4/25 and as a mixed fraction or mixed number.
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Improper fraction for 8 4/25 is 204/25

Step-by-step explanation:

The numbers in the mixed fraction are defined as follow

8 = whole number

4 = numerator

25 = denominator

 Multiply the whole number by the denominator

8 × 25 = 200

Add the product from Step 1 to the numerator

200 + 4 = 204

Write answer from Step 2 over the denominator

204/25

The mixed number 8 4/25 converted to improper fraction is therefore :
