Find the 61st term of -12, -28, -44,

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

$a_{61}=-972$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Arithmetic Sequences</u>

The arithmetic sequences are identified because any term n is obtained by adding or subtracting a fixed number to the previous term. That number is called the common difference.

The equation to calculate the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is:

$a_n=a_1+(n-1)r$

Where

an = nth term

a1 = first term

r = common difference

n = number of the term

We are given the first terms of a sequence:

-12, -28, -44,...

Find the common difference by subtracting consecutive terms:

r = -28 - (-12) = -16

r = -44 - (-28) = -16

The first term is a1 = -12. Now we calculate the term n=61:

$a_{61}=-12+(61-1)(-16)$

$a_{61}=-12-60*16=-12-960$

$\mathbf{a_{61}=-972}$

Apparently, the calculator at the link in your lesson is fully capable of giving you the necessary numbers. My own TI-84 work-alike gives me the account balances, but the rest of the numbers need to be figured.

In 30 years, there are 12×30 = 360 months, or 4×30 = 120 quarters. See the calculator results below. Your table can be filled in using the given information to find the contribution amount. The calculator gives the final balance. The interest amount is found by subtracting the contribution amount from the final balance.

$\begin{array}{cccc}\text{Opt}&\text{Contributions}&\text{Int}&\text{Final Bal}\\1&360\cdot 25=9000&6250.50&15250.50\\2&120\cdot 75=9000&8467.04&17467.04\\3&1000&5489.17&6489.17\end{array}$
