Write the first four terms of the $AP,$ when the first term $a$ and the common difference $d$ are given as follows: $a = -2, d = 0.$
(A) Given: First term $a = -2$ and common difference $d = 0.$
The general form of an $AP$ is $a, a+d, a+2d, a+3d, \dots$
First term $a_1 = a = -2.$
Second term $a_2 = a + d = -2 + 0 = -2.$
Third term $a_3 = a + 2d = -2 + 2(0) = -2.$
Fourth term $a_4 = a + 3d = -2 + 3(0) = -2.$
Therefore,the first four terms of the $AP$ are $-2, -2, -2, -2.$
