How to find nth term of a sequence in math?

Mathematics
1 answer:
worty [1.4K]3 years ago

Salutations!

To find the nth term, you will be needing a formula.

a +(n-1) *d

a stands for the first term (first number in the sequence)

d stands for the difference between two terms. (always remember to subtract from the 2nd term to the 1st term)

and the n is what we are going to find

so in your sequence: 5, 10, 15, 20

5 is a (as it is the first term)

d would be 5 ( 10 -5 =5)

a+(n-1)*d

5+ (n-1) *5

5+5n-5

5n+0

your nth term is 5n+0

Hope this helps!

Have a great day!

What is the value of the numerical expression 5/8 - 5/12 (3 -1/4) + 2/3 ?
nasty-shy [4]
\dfrac{5}{8} -  \dfrac{5}{12} ( 3 -  \dfrac{1}{4} )+  \dfrac{2}{3}

= \dfrac{5}{8} -  \dfrac{5}{12} (2\dfrac{3}{4} )+  \dfrac{2}{3}

= \dfrac{5}{8} -  \dfrac{5}{12} (\dfrac{11}{4} )+  \dfrac{2}{3}

= \dfrac{5}{8} -  \dfrac{55}{48}+  \dfrac{2}{3}

= \dfrac{30}{48} -  \dfrac{55}{48}+  \dfrac{32}{48}

= \dfrac{7}{48}

How to solve X^4-19x^2+48=0
ZanzabumX [31]
Two numbers that add up to -19 and multiply to 48 are -16 and -3:

(x^4-19x^2+48)=0\\(x^2-16)(x^2-3)=0\\(x+4)(x-4)(x^2-3)=0

So, the solutions come from each parentheses:  x+4=0, x-4=0, and x^2-3=0.

x+4=0
x = -4

x-4=0
x = 4

x^2-3=0
x^2 = 3
x = +/- √3

So, the solutions are -4, -√3, √3, and 4.

Is the product of 3√ and 2.8 is a rational number acquisition?
svetlana [45]

Answer:

It is not rational

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\sqrt 3 * 2.8

Required

Rational or Irrational

\sqrt 3 * 2.8

\sqrt 3 =1.73205

So, we have:

\sqrt 3 * 2.8 = 1.73205 * 2.8

\sqrt 3 * 2.8 = 4.84974

<em>The result of the product: 4.84974  is not rational because it can not be represented as a fraction of two integers.</em>
