Question

a. Use your calculator to generate an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of -7 . How could you use a calculator to find the 6th term? The 8th term? The 20th term?

Answer 1

The 20th term of the arithmetic sequence is 122.

What is arithmetic sequence?

nth term = a1 + d(n - 1) so here:

20th term = -30 + 8(20 - 1)

- 30 +  152

$a_{20}$ = 122.

An ordered group of numbers with a shared difference between each succeeding word is known as an arithmetic sequence. For instance, the common difference in the arithmetic series 3, 9, 15, 21, and 27 is 6.

Arithmetic sequences are sequences containing these patterns. The distance between succeeding terms in an arithmetic series is always the same. The difference between consecutive words is always two, hence the sequence 3, 5, 7, 9... is arithmetic.

An explicit formula that states a = d (n - 1) + c, where d is the common difference between succeeding words, and c = a1, can be used to establish an arithmetic sequence.
