Are rational numbers always, sometimes or never natural numbers?

1 answer:

4 0

Rational numbers are sometimes natural numbers. For example, the number 1 is both a rational and natural number. Remember that natural numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4.. etc. Rational numbers are any number that can be expressed as a ratio of 2 integers. 1/1 is rational.

Most rational numbers, however, are not natural. For example, 3/4, 89/88, and so on.

The common difference in an arithmetic sequence is –2 and the first term is 47. What is the 29th term?

BlackZzzverrR [31]

An arithmetic sequence is an ordered list of numbers where the next number is found by adding on to the last number (ex: 2,5,8,11... is a sequence where 3 is added on to find the next number).

The equation for an arithmetic sequence is
$A_{n}=A_{1}+(n-1)d$

$A_{n}$ is the "n-th" number in the sequence (ex: is the first term in the sequence)
d is the number you add (common difference) to find the next number
The first number in the sequence is 47 so $A_{1}=47$
d=-2 because the question gives you that

$A_{n}=A_{1}+(n-1)d$
 $A_{29}=47+(29-1)(-2)$
 $A_{29}=47+(28)(-2)$
 $A_{29}=47+-56$
 $A_{29}=-9$

The answer is A. -9.

For the second one, it gives you $A_{1}=4$ and $A_{}=18$
You can use this to find d

 $A_{n}=A_{1}+(n-1)d$
 $A_{3}=4+(3-1)d$
 $18=4+(3-1)d$
 $18=4+2d$
 $14=2d$
 $7=d$

Now you can just solve using the equation normally.
 $A_{n}=A_{1}+(n-1)d$
 $A_{23}=4+(23-1)(7)$
 $A_{23}=4+(22)(7)$
 $A_{23}=4+154$
 $A_{23}=158$

The answer is C. 158
