Question 1:
Formula for a term in an arithmetic progression, A%5B1%5D%2B%28n-1%29d.
A%5B1%5D is the first term.
n is the index.
d is the common difference, which can be either positive or negative.
-
Your example question uses d=-7 and A%5B1%5D=85.

Question 2:
You ask about a quadratic equation and you show an incorrectly written rational expression, or something included which makes unclear sense.

Q.1
1.for the following A.p, find the first n for which tn is negative
85,78,71,64, .........
2.write the following quadratic eq in a standard form ax square bx c =0 and find the value of a,b and c
2z -5/z z- 6.
a%5B1%5D+%2B+%28n+-+1%29d+%3C+t%5Bn%5D, with:
a%5B1%5D, or 1st term: 85 in this case
n being the term number: (unknown)
d being the common difference: (- 7) in this case
t%5Bn%5D being the value of the nth term: < 0 in this case
You should get: n+%3E+13%261%2F7, or highlight_green%28highlight%28n+=+14%29%29
