Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In an arithmetic progression, if the first term is 5 and the common difference is 3, what is the 10th term?
  • Step 1: Identify the first term (a) of the arithmetic progression. Here, a = 5.
  • Step 2: Identify the common difference (d) of the arithmetic progression. Here, d = 3.
  • Step 3: Identify the term number (n) you want to find. Here, n = 10.
  • Step 4: Use the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic progression, which is a + (n-1)d.
  • Step 5: Substitute the values into the formula: 5 + (10-1) * 3.
  • Step 6: Calculate (10-1) which equals 9.
  • Step 7: Multiply 9 by the common difference (3): 9 * 3 = 27.
  • Step 8: Add this result to the first term: 5 + 27 = 32.
  • Step 9: The 10th term of the arithmetic progression is 32.
