What will be the 10th term in series 3,0,-3,-6 ?
a) -21
b) -24
c) -27
Read Solution (Total 30)
-
- a=3, d= -3, n=10
we know ,n'th term = a+(n-1)d
=3+(10-1)*(-3)
=3-27 = -24 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(31) No(1)
- 3,0,-3,-6,-9,-12,-15,-18,-21,-23 it will increase by 3 ans:-23
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(32)
- it is ap where a=3 d=(-3) n=10 so nth term is=a+(n-1)d
so 10th term=3+(10-1)(-3)=24 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(3)
- -24
because in this term a=3 ,diffirence d=-3 and n=1
a+(n-1).d=3+(10-1)*-3
3+9*-3=3-27=-24
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
- b) -24 is the right answer
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- tn=a+(n-1)d
-24 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
- by the formula an = a1+(n-1)*d
nth term = 10
a1 = first term = 3
difference (d) = 0-3= -3
substituting in the formula a10 = 3+(10-1)*(-3)
ANSWER: -24 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- this term are in AP
L=a+(n-1)*d
l=3+(10-1)*(-3)=-24 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- decreasing by 3,and the 10th term is -24
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- 3,0,-3,-6,-9,- 12, -15,-18,-21,-24 the tenth term is -24
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 3+(9-1)*-3
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- it is in A.P ,SO IT WILL BE
b) -24 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- a+(n-1)d=3+(10-1)*-3
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- t10 = a+(n-1)d
a = 3, d = -3
t10 = 3+(10-1)(-3)
t10 =-24 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- It is in form of A.P
Where a=3 d=-3
we know that nth term=a+(n-1)d
3+(10-1)(-3)=-24 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 3,0,-3,-6,-9,-12,-15,-18,-21,-24
Hence 10th term in this series is -24 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- -24
a+(n-1)d - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 3 0 -3 -6 -9 -12 -15 -18 -21 -24
10th element is -24 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- Ans -24. since the given series in A.P
Use formula a+(n-1)d to find the 10th term. - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- its in AP. so,
a=3,d=-3 & to find t10=?
t10=a+(n-1)d
=3+(9)*-3
=-24 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- In ths serious it decreases by 3
Hence it is -24
3 0 -3 -6 -9 -12 -15 -18 -21 -24
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- it is in AP so using its formula for finding the 10th term a+(n-1)d here a=3 d=-3 n=10 so 3+(9)*-3=-24
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 3,0,-3,-6,-9,-12,-15,-18,-21,24
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- -24
assume a number line a count to the left from 3 taking 3 as common difference
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- difference is 3 ans:-24
- 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- a=3
d=-1
t10=a+9d
=>3+9*-3=-24 - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- -24
it is AP series a=3 d=-3 and n=10
so the ans is -24 - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- Ans B.-24
- 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 3,0,-3,-6,-9,-12,-15,-18,-21,-24
- 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- don't confuse
t10=a+9d, where a is 3 & d is -3
so
t10=3+9(-3)
t10=-24 - 5 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
