The income of a trader for the first 14 days in January follows an arithmetic progression with
RM100 on the first day, RM120 on the second day and so on. Find Financial
Literacy
Pendapatan seorang peniaga dalam 14 hari yang pertama pada bulan Januari adalah mengikut janjang aritmetik iaitu
sebanyak RM100 pada hari pertama, RM120 pada hari kedua dan seterusnya. Cari
(i) the income on the 14th day,
pendapatannya pada hari ke-14,
(ii) the total income during the 14 days,
jumlah pendapatan selama 14 hari,
(iii) which day his income will reach RM500.
hari ke berapa pendapatannya akan mencapai RM500.

Given a = RM100, d = RM120 – RM100

= RM20

(i) T14 = 100 + 13(20)

= RM360

(ii) S14 = 14 [2(100) + 13(20)]

2
= RM3 220

(iii) Tn = 500
100 + (n – 1)(20) = 500
20(n – 1) = 400
n – 1 = 20
n = 21
\  His income will reach RM500 on the 21th day.

2. The nth term of an arithmetic progression is x and the 2nth term is y. Find the 3nth term in terms
of x and y.
Dalam suatu janjang aritmetik, sebutan ke-n ialah x dan sebutan ke-2n ialah y. Cari sebutan ke-3n dalam sebutan x
dan y.

Tn : a + (n – 1)d = x
a + nd – d = x …… 1
T2n : a + (2n – 1)d = y
a + 2nd – d = y
a + nd – d + nd = y …… 2
Substitute 1 into 2,
x + nd = y …… 3
T3n = a + (3n – 1)d
= a + 3nd – d
= a + nd – d + 2nd
= x + 2nd …… 4
From 3, x + nd = y
nd = y – x …… 5
Substitute 5 into 4,
T3n = x + 2(y – x)
= x + 2y – 2x
= 2y – x
