The correct Answer is:
To determine if the sequence \(3, 3+\sqrt{2}, 3+2\sqrt{2}, 3+3\sqrt{2}\) forms an arithmetic progression (A.P.), we need to check if the differences between consecutive terms are equal. ### Step 1: Identify the terms The terms of the sequence are: - First term (\(a_1\)): \(3\) - Second term (\(a_2\)): \(3 + \sqrt{2}\) - Third term (\(a_3\)): \(3 + 2\sqrt{2}\) - Fourth term (\(a_4\)): \(3 + 3\sqrt{2}\) ### Step 2: Calculate the difference between the first two terms To find the common difference, we calculate: \[ d_1 = a_2 - a_1 = (3 + \sqrt{2}) - 3 = \sqrt{2} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the difference between the second and third terms Next, we calculate: \[ d_2 = a_3 - a_2 = (3 + 2\sqrt{2}) - (3 + \sqrt{2}) = 2\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{2} = \sqrt{2} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the difference between the third and fourth terms Now, we calculate: \[ d_3 = a_4 - a_3 = (3 + 3\sqrt{2}) - (3 + 2\sqrt{2}) = 3\sqrt{2} - 2\sqrt{2} = \sqrt{2} \] ### Step 5: Check if the differences are equal Since \(d_1 = d_2 = d_3 = \sqrt{2}\), the differences are equal. Therefore, the sequence forms an arithmetic progression. ### Step 6: Find the common difference The common difference \(d\) is: \[ d = \sqrt{2} \] ### Step 7: Write three more terms of the A.P. To find the next three terms, we keep adding the common difference \(d\): - Fifth term (\(a_5\)): \[ a_5 = a_4 + d = (3 + 3\sqrt{2}) + \sqrt{2} = 3 + 4\sqrt{2} \] - Sixth term (\(a_6\)): \[ a_6 = a_5 + d = (3 + 4\sqrt{2}) + \sqrt{2} = 3 + 5\sqrt{2} \] - Seventh term (\(a_7\)): \[ a_7 = a_6 + d = (3 + 5\sqrt{2}) + \sqrt{2} = 3 + 6\sqrt{2} \] ### Final Answer The sequence is an A.P. with a common difference of \(\sqrt{2}\). The next three terms are: \[ 3 + 4\sqrt{2}, \quad 3 + 5\sqrt{2}, \quad 3 + 6\sqrt{2} \]
