Answer:

(a) The value of $s_z$ is (z+1)(3-z).

(b) The next term in the sequence is -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

It is given that arithmetic sequence that starts with an initial index of 0.

The initial term is 3 and the common difference is -2.

$a_0=3$

$d=-2$

We need to find the value of $s_z$ .

$s_z=\sum_{n=0}^{n=z}(a+nd)$

where, a is initial term and d is common difference.

$s_z=\sum_{n=0}^{n=z}(3-2n)$

The sum of an arithmetic sequence with initial index 0 is

$s_n=\frac{n+1}{2}[2a+nd]$

where, a is initial term and d is common difference.

Substitute n=z, a=3 and d=-2 in the above formula.

$s_z=\frac{z+1}{2}[2(3)+z(-2)]$

$s_z=\frac{z+1}{2}[2(3-z)]$

$s_z=(z+1)(3-z)$

Therefore the value of $s_z$ is (z+1)(3-z).

(b)

The given arithmetic sequence is

7, 4, 1, ...

We need to find the term in the sequence.

In the given arithmetic sequence the first term is

$a=7$

The common difference of the sequence is

$d=a_2-a_1\Rightarrow 4-7=-3$

The first term is 7 and common difference is -3.

Add common difference in last given term, i.e., 1, to find the next term of the sequence.

$1+(-3)=1-3=-2$

Therefore the next term in the sequence is -2.

frozen [14]

Question:

The geometric sequence ai is defined by the formula: a₁ = 8, aᵢ = aᵢ₋₁(-1.5 ).

Find the sum of the first 20 terms in the sequence. Choose 1 answer:

Answer:

The sun of 20 terms of the progress is -10,637.621536256

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Geometric Sequence

a₁ = 8

aᵢ = aᵢ₋₁(-1.5 )

First, the common ratio needs to be calculated.

The common ratio is the ratio of a term to its previous term.

In other words,

Ratio = 2nd term ÷ 1st term or 3rd term ÷ 2nd term, ...... Etc.

We can calculate the common ratio from aᵢ = aᵢ₋₁(-1.5 ) by dividing both sides by aᵢ₋₁. This gives

aᵢ / aᵢ₋₁ = aᵢ₋₁(-1.5 ) / aᵢ₋₁

aᵢ / aᵢ₋₁ = -1.5

So, the common ratio, r = -1.5

Now that we've had the common ratio and first term to be -1.5 and 8 respectively, the sum of 20 terms can then be calculated using the sum of n terms formula.

Sₙ = a(1 - rⁿ)/(1 - r)

We're making use of this formula because r is less than 1

Where n = 20

a = first term = 8

r = -1.5

By substituting these values; we get

S₂₀ = 8(1 - (-1.5)²⁰)/(1 - (-1.5))

S₂₀ = 8(1 - (-1.5)²⁰)/(1 + 1.5))

S₂₀ = 8(1 - (3325.25673008

))/(2.5)

S₂₀ = 8(1 - 3325.25673008

)/(2.5)

S₂₀ = 8(-3324.25673008

)/(2.5)

S₂₀ = -10,637.621536256

F(x)= x/5<br> Given the function f above, what is the value of f(100)?

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)= x/5

To solve for f(100), we substitute 100 for x everywhere in the equation:

f(100) = (100)/5

f(100) = 20
