1) -24, -4, 16, 36, ... Find a23

Mathematics

We're given the Arithmetic Progression <em>-24, -4, 16, 36 ...</em> .

We know that a term in an AP is generally represented as:

\bf a_n\ =\ a\ +\ (n\ -\ 1)d

where,

  • a = the first term in the sequence
  • n = the number of the term/number of terms
  • d = difference between two terms

We need to find \sf a_2_3.

From the given progression, we have:

  • a = -24
  • n = 23
  • d = (-24 - (-4) = -20

Using these in the formula,

\sf a_2_3\ =\ a\ +\ (n\ -\ 1)d\\\\\\a_2_3\ =\ -24\ +\ (23\ -\ 1)\ \times\ (-20)\\\\\\a_2_3\ =\ -24\ +\ 22\ \times (-20)\\\\\\a_2_3\ =\ -24\ -\ 440\\\\\\\bf a_2_3\ =\ -464

Therefore, the 23rd term in the AP is -464.

Hope it helps. :)

Pascals triangle to the 6th:
1                                     x^0
1 1                                  x^1
1 2 1                               x^2
1 3 3 1                           x^3
1 4 6 4 1                        x^4
1 5 10 10 5 1                x^5
1 6 15 20 15 6 1          x^6<span>

</span>the problem is to the 6th power so your going to use the 6th row of pascals triangle (don't count the first row). these numbers represent the coefficients of the variables

1(d-5y)^6 + 6(d-5y)^5 + 15(d-5y)^4 + 20(d-5y)^3 + 15(d-5y)^2 + 6(d-5y) + 1
then simplify

Multiply 6/5 by the reciprocal of (-3/8)
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

-48/15, simplified to -16/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The reciprocal of -3/8 is -8/3. So the equation will be 6/5 x -8/3. Multiply numerators then multiply denominators to get -48/15. This can simplify to -16/5 by dividing both by 3.
