The sum of 5 consecutive integers is 100. What is the first number in this sequence?

1 answer:

5 0

So we can call first number "n"

Then all five integers would be n, n+1, n+2, n+3, n+4

So sum of them would be 5n + 10 = 100

Now you can solve for n:

5n + 10 = 100

5n = 90

n = 18

Verify: 18 + 19 + 20 + 21 + 22 = 100. All good.

So answer is 18

Find the oth term of the geometric sequence 7, 14, 28, ...

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

The nth term of the geometric sequence 7, 14, 28, ... is:

$a_n=7\cdot \:2^{n-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the geometric sequence

7, 14, 28, ...

We know that a geometric sequence has a constant ratio 'r' and is defined by

$a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}$

where a₁ is the first term and r is the common ratio

Computing the ratios of all the adjacent terms

$\frac{14}{7}=2,\:\quad \frac{28}{14}=2$

The ratio of all the adjacent terms is the same and equal to

$r=2$

now substituting r = 2 and a₁ = 7 in the nth term

$a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}$

$a_n=7\cdot \:2^{n-1}$

Therefore, the nth term of the geometric sequence 7, 14, 28, ... is:

$a_n=7\cdot \:2^{n-1}$
