Find a4 for the arithmetic series with S4=-36 and a1=9

Mathematics
1 answer:
erastova [34]3 years ago
5 0

ANSWER

The 4th term is -27

EXPLANATION

The sum of the first n-terms of an arithmetic sequence is

S_n= \frac{n}{2} (2a_1+d(n-1))

It was given that,

S_4 =  - 36

a_1 = 9

- 36= \frac{ 4}{2} (2 \times 9+d(4-1))

-36=2(18+3d)

-18=18+3d

-18 - 18 = 3d

3d =  - 36

d =  - 12

The n-term is given by:

a_n=a_1+ (n-1)d

We substitute n=4 to get,

a_4=9+ (4-1)  \times -12

a_4=9+ 3\times -12

a_4=9 - 36

a_4= - 27
