Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
b and c are the speeds of the boat in stool water, and current, respectively.
Going with the current, the boat travels b+c=16 km/h.
Going against the current, the boat travels b-c=6 km/h
add the equations together
b+c = 16
b-c = 6
—————
2b = 22
b = 11
c = 16-b = 5
2.) 3
3.) 3723
4.) 1512
5.)4692
6.)5525
7.) 760
8.) 696
If you look at the sequence, you would observe:
5 - 2 = 3, 8 - 5 = 3, 11 - 8 = 3.
There is a common difference of 3, so the sequence is an Arithmetic Progression.
nth term of an AP = a + (n - 1)d
where a = 1st term = 2, d = common difference = 3
nth term of an AP = a + (n - 1)d
nth term of an AP = 2 + (n - 1)*3 = 2 + 3*n - 3*1 = 2 + 3n - 3
= 2 - 3 + 3n
= -1 + 3n
= 3n - 1
The nth term = 3n - 1, where n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,....
I hope this explains it.
