Question

Answer the questions attached about the given sequence: -33, -27, -21, -15, ...

Answer 1

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

-33, -27, -21, -15,....

-33 +6 = -27  

-27+6 = -21

-21+6 = -15

This is an arithmetic sequence

The common difference is +6

explicit formula

an=a1+(n-1)d  where n is the term number and d is the common difference

an = -33 + ( n-1) 6

an = -33 +6n -6

an = -39+6n

recursive formula

an+1 = an +6

10th term

n =10

a10  = -39+6*10

      = -39+60

      =21

sum formula

The sum will diverge since we are adding infinite numbers
