Answer:
(a) -7 , - 9 , - 11
(b) Arithmetic sequence
(c) There is a common difference of -2
(d) -53
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) To find the next three terms , we must firs check if it is arithmetic sequence or a geometric sequence . For it to be an arithmetic sequence , there must be a common difference :
check :
-3 - (-1) = -5 - (-3) = -7 - (-5) = -2
This means that there is a common difference of -2 , which means it is an arithmetic sequence.
The next 3 terms we are to find are: 5th term , 6th term and 7th term.
= a + 4d
= - 1 + 4 ( -2 )
= -1 - 8
= - 9
6th term = a +5d
= -1 + 5(-2)
= -1 - 10
= - 11
= a + 6d
= -1 + 6 (-2)
= -1 - 12
= -13
Therefore : the next 3 terms are : -9 , -11 , - 13
(b) it is an arithmetic sequence because there is a common difference which is -2
(c) Because of the existence of common difference
(d) = a + 26d
= -1 + 26 ( -2 )
= -1 - 52
= - 53
ANSWER:
The surface area of the star is 3.2700 x square kilometres.
EXPLANATIONS:
Diameter of the star = 1.8083 x Km.
Surface area of the star = 4
Where n is the radius of the star.
So that;
n =
= 0.90415 x
n = 0.90415 x Km
Thus,
Surface area = 4 x
= 326994889
Surface area = 3.2700 x
Therefore, the surface area of the star is 3.2700 x square kilometres.
