The value for the missing term is -175.
F(n) = 1st term - common difference (n - 1)
The operation is subtraction because the sequence is decreasing.
n = number of the term you are looking for
1st term = 1st number in the sequence, in this case, 16
common difference = difference between one number to the next
f(n) = 16 - 1(n-1)
Assuming we are looking for the 5th term.
f(5) = 16 - 1(5-1)
= 16 - 1(4)
= 16 - 4
= 12 * as you can see, 12 is the 5th term of the sequence.
If you are looking for the equivalent of the nth term, simply substitute n by the number you are looking for and solve the equation.
Answer:
5P5×20P15
Step-by-step explanation:
A school bus has 25 seats, with 5 rows of 5 seats.
15 students from the first grade and 5 students from the second grade travel in the bus.
second-grade students occupy the first row.
The 5 students of second grade are to be seated in 5 seats,this can be done in:
5P5 ways where P is the permutation
Now 15 students from first grade are to be arranged in remaining 20 seats
This can be done in:
20P15 ways
Hence, total ways student can be seated is:
5P5×20P15
let x = a number
difference means that its subtraction
twice a number is 2x
so the equation should be
2x-5=3
add 5 to both sides
2x=8
divide both sides by 2
x=4
