Which term of the sequence 12 + 8i, 11 + 6i, 10+41i, ....... is
(i) purely real (ii) purely imaginary?
Determine the number of terms in an A.P. 3, 8, 13, .......253. Also, find 12th term from the end.
Find the 2nd term and the rth term of an A.P. whose 6th term is 12 and 8th term is 22.
If m times the mth term is equal to n times the nth term of an A.P. Prove that (m + w)th term of an A.P. is zero.
If (m + l)th term of an A.P. is twice the (n + l)th term. Prove that (3m + l)th term is twice the (m + n + l)th term.
Let a be the first and d be the common difference of an A.P. Since (m + 1)th term of an A.P. is twice the (n + 1)th term.
∴
or a + (m + 1 - 1)d = 2[a + (n + 1 - 1)d]
or a + md = 2a + 2nd
or a = (m - 2n)d
Now,
...(i)
Now,
or ...(ii)
∴ (3m + 1)th term is twice the (m + n + 1)th term of an A.P.
