Step 1

Since you have asked multiple questions, we will solve the first question for you. If you want any specific question to be solved then please specify the question number or post only that question.

12)

It is known that the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is given by an=a+n-1d where a is the first term and d is the common difference.

It is given that in an arithmetic sequence, a5=-46  and  a10=-91.

By using the nth term formula, the 5th and 10th terms can be written as follows.

a5=a+4d=-46                                                            1a10=a+9d=-91                                                          2
