To find \( a_{30} - a_{20} \) for the arithmetic progression (AP) given as \( -3, -7, -11, \ldots \), we can use the properties of arithmetic progressions without directly calculating \( a_{30} \) and \( a_{20} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the first term and common difference**: - The first term \( a = -3 \). - To find the common difference \( d \), we calculate: \[ ...
