Describe and correct the error in finding the tenth term of the arithmetic sequence 4, 12, 20, 28.
ycow [4]

Answer: The tenth term is 76

=======================================================

Explanation:

We use this arithmetic sequence formula to get the nth term

a_n = a_1 + d(n-1)

Plug in a_1 = 4, \ d = 8, \ n = 10 and you should get the following:

a_n = a_1 + d(n-1)\\\\a_{10} = 4 + 8(10-1)\\\\a_{10} = 4 + 8(9)\\\\a_{10} = \textbf{76}\\\\

The tenth term is <u>76</u>

---------

We can verify this by listing out the terms one by one. Start at 4, add on 8 each time, until you generate the 10th term. A table like the one shown below is a good way to keep track of all the terms.

\begin{array}{c|c}\boldsymbol{n} & \boldsymbol{a_n}\\1 & 4\\2 & 12\\3 & 20\\4 & 28\\5 & 36\\6 & 44\\7 & 52\\8 & 60\\9 & 68\\10 & \textbf{76}\\\end{array}

---------

In short, the error is with the "10" in the expression 4+10(8). The student should have used 9 instead. This is because of the n-1 term in a_n = a_1 + d(n-1) which shifts everything one spot to the left.

Blanca runs 8 laps around the track each day to train for an endurance race. She times each lap to practice her pacing for the r
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

A graph shows lap time (seconds) labeled 82 to 98 on the horizontal axis and the number of laps on the vertical axis. 1 lap was 82 to 84 seconds.  4 laps were 84 to 86 seconds. 2 laps were 86 to 88 seconds. 4 laps were 88 to 90 seconds. 6 laps were 90 to 92 seconds. 5 laps were 92 to 94 seconds. 2 laps were 94 to 96 seconds. 0 laps were 96 to 98 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The given table is presented as follows;

\begin{array}{ccc}Day \ 1 \ lap \ times \ (seconds)&Day \ 2 \ lap \ times \ (seconds)&Day \ 3 \ lap \ times \ (seconds)\\83&87&85\\92&90&86\\91&92&91\\89&91&93\\94&92&91\\93&95&89\\88&90&88\\84&85&84\end{array}The number of laps in the range 82 to 84 seconds = 1

The number of laps in the range 84 to 86 seconds = 4

The number of laps in the range 86 to 88 seconds = 2

The number of laps in the range 88 to 90 seconds = 4

The number of laps in the range 90 to 92 seconds = 6

The number of laps in the range 92 to 94 seconds = 5

The number of laps in the range 94 to 96 seconds = 2

The number of laps in the range 96 to 98 seconds = 0

Therefore, the histogram that represents Blanca's lap times for the three days of practice is described as follows;

A graph shows lap time (seconds) labeled 82 to 98 on the horizontal axis and the number of laps on the vertical axis. 1 lap was 82 to 84 seconds.  4 laps were 84 to 86 seconds. 2 laps were 86 to 88 seconds. 4 laps were 88 to 90 seconds. 6 laps were 90 to 92 seconds. 5 laps were 92 to 94 seconds. 2 laps were 94 to 96 seconds. 0 laps were 96 to 98 seconds
