The number of terms, 'n' is 8

<h3 /><h3>How to determine the number of terms</h3>

Let's determine the common ratio;

common ratio, r = 3/1 = 3

The formula for sum of geometric series with 'r' greater than 1 is given as;  Sn = a( r^n - 1) / (r - 1)

n is unknown

Sn = 3280

Substitute the value

3280 = 1 ( 3^n - 1) / 3- 1

3280 = 3^n -1 /2

Cross multiply

3280 × 2 = 3^n - 1

6560 + 1 = 3^n

6561 = 3^n

This could be represented as;

3^8 = 3^n

like coefficient cancels out

n = 8

Thus, the number of terms, 'n' is 8

B. The 100th term of 60, 110, 160, ... is (Simplify your answer.) How to do this?​
Advocard [28]

The 1st term is 60.

Add 50 to this to get the 2nd term, 60 + 50 = 110.

Add 50 to that to get the 3rd term, 110 + 50 = 160.

Add 50 to that to get the 4th term, 160 + 50 = 210.

And so on...

Notice that in the 2nd term, we added 1 copy of 50 to the 1st term.

In the 3rd, we ultimately added 2 copies of 50 to the 1st term.

In the 4th, we added 3 50s.

And so on... If the pattern continues, then the <em>n</em>-th term can be obtained by adding (<em>n</em> - 1) copies of 50 to the first term.

So, the 100th term is

60 + (100 - 1) * 50 = 5010
