Answer: An arithmetic sequence is of the form:

aₙ = a₀ + (n -1)*d

So the difference between a term and the nextone is always the same, and in our case the numbers are 5,8,13,21,34,55.

The distance between the numbers is not constant, so this is not a arithmetic sequence.

a geometric sequence is of the form: aₙ = a*rⁿ

So the therms grow exponentially.

here a₀ = a*r⁰ = a = 5.

a₁ = a*r¹ = 5*r = 13, then r = 13/5 = 2.6

a₂ = a*r² = 5*2.6*2.6 = 33.8, so here we can see that this is not our series, so our series isn't geometric.

So the answer for the first part is neither.

Now, the sequence is  5,8,13,21,34,55, ...

you can see that

5 + 8 = 13

13 + 8 = 21,

21 + 34 = 55

So our sequence is of the form: aₙ = aₙ₋₁ + aₙ₋₂.

then, the next term will be: 55 + 21= 76.

Find two consecutive integers such that one fifth of the first less one-ninth of the second is 3. Pls answer.​
mart [117]

Answer:

35 and 36

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we must interpret it line by line;

  • We are dealing with consecutive integers; these are integers with a difference of 1 between them.

   let the first number = x

               second number  = x + 1

  • one - fifth of first;

             \frac{1}{5}x

  •   one - ninth of the second;

            \frac{1}{9}(x + 1)

for the "less" ;

         \frac{1}{5}x -  \frac{1}{9}(x + 1) = 3

Multiply through by 45

       45(\frac{1}{5}x) - (45) \frac{1}{9}(x + 1) = 3 x 45

           9x - 5(x + 1) = 135

           9x - 5x -5 = 135

             4x = 135 + 5

              4x = 140

                x = 35

Now, x+1  = 35 + 1 = 36

The consecutive integers are 35 and 36
