A19 = -92
a20 = 6
common difference = d = a20 - a19
d = 6 - (-92)
d = 6 + 92
d = 98
formula for nth term
an = a1 + (n-1)d
put n = 20
a20 = a1 + (20-1)d
6 = a1 + 19(98)
6 = a1 + 1862
6 - 1862 = a1
-1856 = a1
a1 = -1856
now nth term:
an = a1 + (n-1)d
an = -1856 + (n-1)98
an = -1856 + 98(n-1)

Answer:

$Time = 11\frac{2}{3}\ min$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Security\ A = 2\ mins, 20\ secs$

$Security\ B = 1\ mins, 40\ secs$

Required

After how many minutes, will they round together

First, convert the given time to minutes

$Security\ A = 2\ mins, 20\ secs$

$Security\ A = 2\ mins+ 20\ secs$

$Security\ A = 2\ mins+ \frac{20}{60}\ min$

$Security\ A = 2\ mins+ \frac{1}{3}\ min$

$Security\ A = 2\frac{1}{3}\ min$

$Security\ B = 1\ mins, 40\ secs$

$Security\ B = 1\ mins+ 40\ secs$

$Security\ B = 1\ mins+ \frac{40}{60}\ min$

$Security\ B = 1\frac{2}{3}\ min$

So, we have:

$Security\ A = 2\frac{1}{3}\ min$

$Security\ B = 1\frac{2}{3}\ min$

List out the multiples of the time of both security personnel take round.

$Security\ A = 2\frac{1}{3}min,\ 4\frac{2}{3}min,\ 7min,\ 9\frac{1}{3}min,\ 11\frac{2}{3}min...$

$Security\ B = 1\frac{2}{3}min,\ 3\frac{1}{3}min,\ 5min,\ 6\frac{2}{3}min,\ 8\frac{1}{3}min,\ 10min\ ,11\frac{2}{3}min,...$

In the above lists, the common time is:

$Time = 11\frac{2}{3}\ min$

<em>This implies that they go on round after </em> $11\frac{2}{3}\ min$ <em></em>
