Question:
Insert four arithmetic means between 4 and 29
Solution:
To find: Four arithmetic means between 4 and 29
Formula used: (i) $d=\frac{b-a}{n+1}$, where, $d$ is the common difference
n is the number of arithmetic means
(ii) $A_{n}=a+n d$
We have 4 and 29
Using Formula, $d=\frac{b-a}{n+1}$
$d=\frac{29-4}{4+1}$
$d=\frac{25}{5}$
$d=5$
Using Formula, $A_{n}=a+n d$
First arithmetic mean, $A_{1}=a+d$
= 4 + 5
= 9
Second arithmetic mean, $A_{2}=a+2 d$
$=4+2(5)$
$=4+10$
$=14$
Third arithmetic mean, $\mathrm{A}_{3}=\mathrm{a}+3 \mathrm{~d}$
$=4+3(5)$
$=4+15$
= 19
Fourth arithmetic mean, $\mathrm{A}_{4}=\mathrm{a}+4 \mathrm{~d}$
$=4+4(5)$
$=4+20$
$=24$
Ans) The four arithmetic means between 4 and 29 are 9, 14, 19 and 24
