The 9th term of this arithmetic sequence is 6.
In an Arithmetic Progression (AP), the nth term is given by the formula-
a9 = a + (n-1)d
where a = first term of the AP
d = common difference
Here, we are given that a= 10 and d = - ½
Let the 9th term of the AP be a9
Therefore, according to the formula for finding the nth term of an AP, we get-
a9 = a + (9-1)d
a9 = a + 8d
Substituting the values of a and d given in the question-
a9 = 10 + 8(-1/2)
a9 = 10 - 4
a9 = 6
Thus, the 9th term of the arithmetic sequence is 6.
