Question

Find the nth terms of the following Ap 100, 91, 82​

Answer 1

Answer:

The nth term is 109-9n

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the nth term of the given arithmetic sequence

Mathematically, we have the nth term as;

Tn = a + (n-1)d

where a is the first term which is 100 in this case

d is the common difference which is the value obtained by subtracting the preceding term from the succeeding term; it is constant throughout the sequence

The value here is thus;

82-91 = 91-100 = -9

Substituting these values

Tn = 100 + (n-1)-9

Tn = 100 -9n + 9

Tn = 100 + 9 - 9n

Tn = 109-9n
