Find the 63rd term of the arithmetic sequence -1, 5, 11, ...−1,5,11,...
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
In an <u><em>Arithmetic Sequence</em></u> the difference between one term and the next is a constant and this constant is called the common difference
we have
Let
The common difference is
We can write an Arithmetic Sequence as a rule
where
a_n is the nth term
d is the common difference
a_1 is the first term
n is the number of terms
Find the 63rd term of the arithmetic sequence
we have
substitute

Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time
now, if say, by the time they meet, Mr Cunningham has travelled "d" miles, that means Mrs Cunningham must also had travelled "d" miles as well.
However, he left 3 hours earlier, so by the time he travelled "d" miles, and took say "t" hours, for her it took 3 hour less, because she started driving 3 hours later, so, she's been on the road 3 hours less than Mr Cunningham, so by the time they meet, Mrs Cunningham has travelled then "t - 3" hours.
