Answer: -5
Step-by-step explanation: The common difference is the same number we are adding each time to get from one term to the next.
In this sequence, we are adding -5 each time
so our common difference is -5.
(D) traveled at the slowest rate.
Answer: 272
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a1=11
a2=20
a3=29
Formula for sequence=
an=a1+(n-1)d
an = nth term
a1= first term
n= nth position
d= common difference
We are looking for the 30th term,so our n=30
d= a2-a1
d= 20-11
d= 9
Using the formula
an= a1+(n-1)d
a30= 11+(30-1)9
a30= 11+(29)9
a30= 11+(29×9)
a30= 11+261
a30= 272
Therefore, the 30th term is 272
-105
Multiply first, then subtract, then add.
We can't find the hundredth for you, but the nearest hundred is $95,500.
