Question
Write the value of $a_{30} - a_{10}$_ for the A.P. $4, 9, 14, 19, .....$

Answer

Given,
A.P. $4, 9, 14, 19, .....$
Here, First term $a = 4$
and Difference $d = 9 - 4 = 5$
We know,
$a_n = a + (n - 1)d$
$30^{th}$ term
$a_{30} = 4 + (30 - 1)5$
$\Rightarrow a_{30} = 4 + 29 \times 5$
$\Rightarrow a_{30} = 4 + 145$
$\Rightarrow a_{30} = 149$
$10^{th}$​​​​​​​^ term,
$a_{10} = 4 + (10 - 1)5$
$\Rightarrow a_{10} = 4 + 9 \times 5$
$\Rightarrow a_{10} = 4 + 45$
$\Rightarrow a_{10} = 49$
Now, we have to find $a_{30} - a_{10}$​​​​​​​_
Now, we have to find $a_{30} - a_{10}$​​​​​​​_
$\Rightarrow a_{30} - a_{10} = 149 - 49$
$\Rightarrow a_{30} - a_{10} = 100$
Hence, value of $a_{30} - a_{10}$​​​​​​​_ is $100.$
