In an AP, (a_6=2) and (a_{18}=-70). What is (a_{30})?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: -142

The common difference is \(d=\frac{a_{18}-a_6}{18-6}=\frac{-70-2}{12}=-6\). Now, \(a_{30}=a_{18}+(30-18)d=-70+12(-6)=-142\). Hence, the correct answer is \(-142\). Choosing \(-136\) would result from using an incorrect difference in term numbers. Exam tip: when two terms are given, always use the difference between their subscripts.
