The fourth term of an arithmetic

Mathematics
1 answer:

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given AP where:</u>

  • a₄ = 2a₂ - 1
  • a₆ = 7

<u>To find</u>

  • a₁ = ?

<u>Since</u>

  • a₄ = a₁ + 3d
  • a₂ = a₁ + d
  • a₆ = a₁ + 5d

<u>Initial equations will change as:</u>

  • a₁ + 3d = 2(a₁ + d) - 1  ⇒  a₁ + 3d = 2a₁ + 2d - 1 ⇒ a₁ = d + 1
  • a₁ + 5d = 7 ⇒ a₁ = 7 - 5d

<u>Comparing the above:</u>

  • d + 1 = 7 - 5d
  • 6d = 6
  • d = 1

<u>Then:</u>

  • a₁ = d + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2
  • a₁ = 2

The first term is 2

How do you Simplify 3/12?
densk [106]
You need to find a number that can go into both 3 and 12. 3 can go into 3 and 12. So, you would then find out, how many times does 3 go into this number? Well, 3 goes into 3 once of course, and 3 goes into 12 four times. (3 x 4 = 12) In a fraction, this would be 1/4. (1/4 is the simplification of 3/12)
