Problem : 1 [ Arithmetic Progression ] Solve this type of problem

1. For given arithemetic progression series 7,3,-1,-5,-9 ,... find 10 th term and addition of first 10 th terms.
Show Answer
A:	Here first term `a = 7,` `d = 3 - 7 = -4` We know that, `f(n) = a + (n - 1)d` `f(10) = 7 + (10 - 1)(-4)` `= 7 + (-36)` `= -29` We know that, `S_n = n/2 [2a + (n - 1)d]` `:. S_10 = 10/2 * [2(7) + (10 - 1)(-4)]` `= 5 * [14 + (-36)]` `= 5 * [-22]` `= -110` Hence, `10^(th)` term of the given series is `-29` and sum of first `10^(th)` term is `-110`
