The general expression for the nth term of an AP is : a + (n - 1)d, where a is the first term and d is the common difference.

Putting n = 1, then T1 = 7 - 3 = 4, which is the value of a.

Then 7 - 3n = 4 + (n - 1)d : 3 - 3n = (n - 1)d : -3(n - 1) = (n - 1) d : d = -3.

The formula for the sum of the AP to the nth term is : Sn = n/2[2a + (n - 1)d]

Therefore S25 = 25/2[2x4 + (25-1)x-3] = 25/2[8+(24 x -3)] = 25/2[8-72] = 25/2 x - 64 = -800

What is the first three terms whose nth term is given by the formula 2-n?

The nth term of the sequence given by the formula (2 - n) can be found by substituting (n) with the first three positive integers: For (n = 1): (2 - 1 = 1) For (n = 2): (2 - 2 = 0) For (n = 3): (2 - 3 = -1) Thus, the first three terms of the sequence are 1, 0, and -1.
