Which sequences are arithmetic? select three options​

Mathematics
2 answers:
Gemiola [76]3 years ago

Answer:

The sequences are arithmetic

1).-8.6, -5.0, -1.4, 2.2, 5.8

2).  5, 1, -3, -7, -11

3). -3, 3, 9, 15, 21

Step-by-step explanation:

If a sequence is a an AP then there is a common difference d.

<u>1) Check sequence 1</u>

-8.6, -5.0, -1.4, 2.2, 5.8

-5.0 - - 8.6 = 3.6

-1.4 - -5.4 = 3.6  It is an AP

<u>2) Check sequence 2</u>

2, -2.2,2.42, -2.662, 2.9282

-2.2 - 2 = -4.2

-2.662 - 2.42 = -5.082 Not AP

Similarly AP sequences are

5, 1, -3, -7, -11

-3, 3, 9, 15, 21

Answer:

Options 1, 3 and 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know in an arithmetic sequence each successive term has a common difference.

Let's check each option for Arithmetic sequence.

Option 1.

-8.6, -5.0, -1.4, 2.2, 5.8,....

Difference between 2nd and 1st term

-5 - (-8.6) = -5 + 8.6

= 3.6

Difference between 4th and 3rd term

-1.4 - (-5) = -1.4 + 5

= 3.6

This proves that there is a common difference of 3.6 which shows that the sequence is an arithmetic sequence.

Option 2.

2, -2.2, 2.42, -2.662, 2.9282,....

2nd term - 1st term = (-2.2) - 2 = -4.2

3rd term - 2nd term = 2.42 - (-2.2) = 2.42 + 2.2 = 4.62

Here difference in each term of the sequence is not common so it's not an arithmetic sequence.

Option 3.

5, 1, -3, -7, -11,.......

2nd term - 1st term = 1 - 5 = -4

3rd term - 2nd term = -3 - 1 = -4

Therefore, the given sequence is an arithmetic sequence.

Option 4.

-3, 3, 9, 15, 21,.......

2nd term - 1st term = 3 - (-3) = 3+ 3 = 6

3rd term - 2nd term = 9 - 3 = 6

There is a common difference of 6 in each term so it's an arithmetic sequence.

Option 5.

-6.2, -3.1, -1.55, -0.775, -0.3875,.........

2nd term - 1st term = -3.1 - (-6.2) = 6.2 - 3.1 = 3.1

3rd term - 2nd term = -1.55 - (-3.1) = 3.1 - 1.55 = 1.55

And 3.1 ≠ 1.55 which shows that this sequence is not an arithmetic sequence.

Options 1, 3 and 4 are arithmetic sequences.

Solve and check: 5 - 6 = -3<br> k
xxTIMURxx [149]

5 - 6 =  - 3k \\  - 1 =  - 3k \\  \frac{1}{3}  = k
First, we combine the terms on the left side of the equation to simplify the equation. Then we divide both sides by -3. k then equals 1/3.
To check, we plug in our value for k into the original equation:
5 - 6 =  - 3k \\ 5 - 6 =  - 3( \frac{1}{3} ) \\  - 1 =  - 1
We found k to be 1/3, so for every instance of k, we plug in 1/3. To simplify, we combine the left side to get -1, and we combine the right side to get -1.
Since -1 = -1, our solution is correct.

The focus of a parabola is (−5,−1) and the directrix is y=−3. What is an equation of the parabola? (x+5)2=8(y+5)

(x – 0)2 = 4(y – 0)</span><span>This rearrangement "shows" that the vertex is at </span><span>(h, k) = (0, 0)</span><span>. The axis of symmetry is the vertical line right through the vertex: </span><span>x = 0</span>. (I can always check my graph, if I'm not sure about this.) The focus is "p" units from the vertex.

(y + 3)2 = –12(x – 2)</span> <span>
(y – (–3))2 = 4(–3)(x – 2)</span></span><span><span>Then the vertex is at </span><span>(h, k) = (2, –3)</span><span> and the value of </span>p<span> is </span>–3<span>.
