If 9th term of an A.P. is zero, prove that its 29th term is double the 19th term.
Given:
9th term of an A.P. is zero.
To do:
We have to prove that 29th term of the given A.P. is double the 19th term.
Solution:
Let the required A.P. be $a, a+d, a+2d, ......$
Here,
$a_1=a, a_2=a+d$ and Common difference $=a_2-a_1=a+d-a=d$
We know that,
$a_n=a+(n-1)d$
Therefore,
$a_9=a+(9-1)d$
$0=a+8d$
$a=-8d$.....(i)
$a_{19}=a+(19-1)d$
$=-8d+18d$ (From(i))
$=10d$....(ii)
$a_{29}=a+(29-1)d$
$=-8d+28d$ (From(i))
$=20d$....(iii)
$=2(10d)$
$=2(a_{19})$ (From (ii))
This implies,
$a_{29}=2\times a_{19}$
29th term is double the 19th term.
Hence proved.
