Write first four terms of the AP, when the first term a and the common difference d are given as follows:
a = 4, d = – 3

Answer

a = 4, d = –3
First term = a = 4
Second term = 4 + d = 4 + (–3) = 1
Third term = 1 + d = 1 + (–3) = –2
Fourth term = –2 + d = –2 + (–3) = –5
Hence, four first terms of the given A .P. are 4, 1, -2, -5.
