<span>5 ,1 ,-3,-7  ?  what the dickens is going on?

notice, from 5 to 1, is really -4 units,

from 1 to -3, is -4 units as well, 1 -4 = -3  and so on.

so, to get the next term's value, you simply subtract 4 from the current one, namely -4 is the "common difference".

and we also know the first term is 5, ok... then

</span>\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of an arithmetic sequence}\\\\&#10;a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;n=n^{th}\ term\\&#10;a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\&#10;d=\textit{common difference}\\&#10;----------\\&#10;d=-4\\&#10;a_1=5\\&#10;n=100&#10;\end{cases}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;a_{100}=5+(100-1)(-4)\implies a_{100}=5+(99)(-4)&#10;\\\\\\&#10;a_{100}=5-396\implies a_{100}=-391<span>

Math:<br> Please help me I don’t understand and I need to do corrections.
GREYUIT [131]
So, you had done everything right so far (other than squaring the 2), but that was only half of the question.

to find the least common multiple, you need to first figure out what the prime factors have in common.
{2}^{2}  \times 3 \times 5 \\ and \\  {2}^{2}  \times  {3}^{2}  \times 5 \times 7
each have two twos. both have one 5, so we know our answer will look something like
{2}^{2}  \times 5 \times other \: stuff
now to figure out the other stuff... we have to represent the greatest amount of everything that is left, and we have 3s and 7s left over, so we need to figure out how many of each we need.

one has one 3 and one has two, so we need two threes. now our equation is
{2}^{2}  \times {3}^{2}  \times 5 \times stuff

what's the only number we have to deal with? 7...

how many sevens does 60 have? 0, and 630 has 1, so we know we need one 7. our answer becomes
