Given:
The sequence is -8, -12, -16.
To find:
The nth and 52th term of the given sequence.
Solution:
We have,
-8, -12, -16
It is an AP because the difference between consecutive terms are equal. Here, first term is -8 and the common difference is
The nth term of an AP is
Where, a is first term and d is common difference.
Putting a=-8 and d=-4, we get
Putting n=52, we get
Therefore, the equation for the nth term of the given sequence is and the 52nd term of the sequence is -212.
Factorize the numerator and denominator. You'll see that they both have a factor of 4 that can be canceled. The introduce a factor of 3 to change the denominator to 36.
