the answer is 10cm long because it has to be the missing part and you already have 8cm
Here, we are required to find the first term of an arithmetic progression which has a second term of 96 and a fourth term of 54.
- The first term of the progression which has a <em>second term</em> of 96 and a <em>fourth term</em> of 54 is; a = 117.
<em>In Arithmetic progression, the N(th) term of the progression is given by the formular;</em>
T(n) = a + (n-1)d
where;
Therefore, from the question above;
- T(2nd) = a + d = 96..............eqn(1)
- and T(4th) = a + 3d = 54..........eqn(2)
By solving the system of equations simultaneously;
we subtract eqn. 2 from 1, then we have;
<em>-2d = 42</em>
Therefore, d = -21.
However, the question requests that we find the first term of the progression; From eqn. (1);
a + d = 96
Therefore,
Ultimately, the first term of the progression is therefore; a = 117

-1
because there is a pattern..
6 / 2 = 3
8 / 2 = 4
-2 / 2 = -1
I think it’s 3, i input it all into my calculator. i’m not sure about the exponent tho so probably 3^29
