How do you determine the common difference for an arithmetic sequence?

Mathematics
1 answer:
antiseptic1488 [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Common difference(d) is:

a2-a1=a3-a2=a4-a3= d

d is constant till  

a_n-a_n_-_1 =d

Step-by-step explanation:

An arithmetic sequence or arithmetic progression is the sequence, whose difference of consecutive terms called common difference is constant throughout the sequence.

Considering, the sequence    a_1,a_2,a_3,a_4,.......a_n

a2-a1=a3-a2=a4-a3= d

     d= common difference.

we can find any  n^t^h term in the sequence by using the formula

a_n=a_1+(n-1)d

where  a_n= any n^t^h term

             n\\=Number of terms

            d=common difference

           a_1= first term

Also sum of n terms of A.P can be find by the formula:

              S_n=\frac{n}{2} [2a+(n-1)d]

1/3 of students at a school are boys. If there are 600 students at the school, how many are girls?
Temka [501]

Answer:

200 students are boys and rest of 400 are girls

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Total students = 300

1/3 students of total are boys

so.

Boys = 1/3(600)

Boys = 200

For finding number of girls:

Girls = total - boys

Girls = 600 - 200

Girls = 400

Find the point of diminishing returns (x comma y )for the function​ R(x), where​ R(x) represents revenue​ (in thousands of​ doll
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image  

Answer:

The point of diminishing returns (x , y ) is  (11, 21462)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The function is  R(x) =  10,000 -x^3 - 33x^2 + 800x ,  \ \ 0 \le x \le 20

Here R(x)  represents revenue (in thousands of​ dollars) and  x  represents the amount spent on advertising​ (in thousands of​ dollars).

           Now  differentiating  R(x) we have  

               R'(x) =  -3x^2 +66x + 800

Finding the second derivative of R(x)

              R''(x) =  -6x +66

at  inflection point    R''(x) =  0

    So      -6x  +66  = 0

=>           x=  11

    substituting value of x into R(x)

     R(x) =  10,000 -(11)^3 - 33(11)^2 + 800(11) ,

      R(x) = 21462

Now the point of diminishing returns (x , y ) i.e (x , R(x) ) is

     (11, 21462)
