<u>Number of terms = 48</u>
<u>common difference = 1.5</u>
This question involves the concept of Arithmetic Progression.
- The formula for sum of an arithmetic progression series with first and last term given is;
=
(a + l)
where;
a = first term
l = last term
n = number of terms
- From the given sequence, we see that;
first term; a = 4
last term; l = 76
Sum of A.P;
= 1920
- Plugging in relevant values into the sum of an AP formula, we have;
1920 =
(4 + 76)
simplifying this gives;
1920 = 40n
n = 1920/40
n = 48
- Formula for nth term of an AP is;
=
+ (n - 1)d
where;
is first term
d is common difference
n is number of term
is the nth term in question
the 48th term is 76
Thus;
76 = 4 + (48 - 1)d
76 - 4 = 47d
72 = 47d
d = 72/47
d ≈ 1.5
Thus;
Number of terms = 48
common difference = 1.5

Wouldn’t the answer be 19.
Answer:
x ≈ -4.419
Step-by-step explanation:
Separate the constants from the exponentials and write the two exponentials as one. (This puts x in one place.) Then use logarithms.
0 = 2^(x-1) -3^(x+1)
3^(x+1) = 2^(x-1) . . . . . add 3^(x+1)
3×3^x = (1/2)2^x . . . . .factor out the constants
(3/2)^x = (1/2)/3 . . . . . divide by 3×2^x
Take the log:
x·log(3/2) = log(1/6)
x = log(1/6)/log(3/2) . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
x ≈ -4.419

A graphing calculator is another tool that can be used to solve this. I find it the quickest and easiest.

<em>Comment on alternate solution</em>
Once you get the exponential terms on opposite sides of the equal sign, you can take logs at that point, if you like. Then solve the resulting linear equation for x.
(x+1)log(3) = (x-1)log(2)
x=(log(2)+log(3))/(log(2)-log(3))
