Problema Solution

in the arithmetic progression,98,91,.....,0.find (a).the common difference.(b)the number of terms in the progression

Answer provided by our tutors

AP: 98, 91,....,0

so, common difference is 91-98 = -7

last term=0 , first term= 98 and d= -7

then 

0= 98+(n-1)(-7)

-98= (n-1)(-7)

n-1= 14

so, n=15

hence, a) common difference is -7

and number of terms= 15
