We can conclude that the first term
a = 25
And the common difference(d)
d = 20-25
d = – 5
For finding the A. P. :–
We can use the formula
An = a+(n-1)d
As we know:–
For the first negative term it should be less than 0.
So the required equation will be :
=> a+(n-1)d<0
=> 25+(n-1)*(-5)<0
=> (n-1)*(-5)<-25
=>(n-1)>5
=> n>6
Therefore-:
The first negative term is it’s 7th term.
