Question

Write the next three terms of the arithmetic sequence.

Answer 1

The next three terms are: 1/6 , 0 and -1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sequence is:

$\frac{5}{6} , \frac{2}{3} ,\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{3} ...$

First of all, we have to find the common difference

$here\\a_1 = \frac{5}{6}\\a_2 = \frac{2}{3}\\a_3 = \frac{1}{2}\\a_4 = \frac{1}{3}\\d = a_2-a_1 = \frac{2}{3} -\frac{5}{6} = \frac{4-5}{6} = -\frac{1}{6}\\d = a_3 - a_2 = \frac{1}{2} - \frac{2}{3} = \frac{3-4}{6} = =\frac{1}{6}$

The common difference is -1/6

We can simply add -1/6 to the previous term to find the next terms so,

Adding -1/6 to 1/3

$\frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{2-1}{6} = \frac{1}{6}\\\frac{1}{6} - \frac{1}{6} = 0\\0-\frac{1}{6} = -\frac{1}{6}$

Hence,

The next three terms are: 1/6 , 0 and -1/6
