1. Given the below sequence: -1, -3, -5, -7, . . . (a) What are the next 3 terms? (b) Is this an arithmetic or geometric sequenc

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

(a) -7 , - 9 , - 11

(b) Arithmetic sequence

(c) There is a common difference of -2

(d) -53

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) To find the next three terms , we must firs check if it is arithmetic sequence or a geometric sequence . For it to be an arithmetic sequence , there must be a common difference :

check :

-3 - (-1) = -5 - (-3) = -7 - (-5) = -2

This means that there is a common difference of -2 , which means it is an arithmetic sequence.

The next 3 terms we are to find are: 5th term , 6th term and 7th term.

$t_{5}$ = a + 4d

$t_{5}$ = - 1 + 4 ( -2 )

$t_{5}$ = -1 - 8

$t_{5}$ = - 9

6th term = a +5d

$t_{6}$ = -1 + 5(-2)

$t_{6}$ = -1 - 10

$t_{6}$ = - 11

$t_{7}$ = a + 6d

$t_{7}$ = -1 + 6 (-2)

$t_{7}$ = -1 - 12

$t_{7}$ = -13

Therefore : the next 3 terms are : -9 , -11 , - 13

(b) it is an arithmetic sequence because there is a common difference which is -2

(c) Because of the existence of common difference

(d) $t_{27}$ = a + 26d

$t_{27}$ = -1 + 26 ( -2 )

$t_{27}$ = -1 - 52

$t_{27}$ = - 53

Find d for the arithmetic series with S17=-170 and a1=2

Irina18 [472]

So, we know the sum of the first 17 terms is -170, thus S₁₇ = -170, and we also know the first term is 2, well

$\bf \textit{ sum of a finite arithmetic sequence}\\\\
S_n=\cfrac{n(a_1+a_n)}{2}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
----------\\
n=17\\
S_{17}=-170\\
a_1=2
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
-170=\cfrac{17(2+a_{17})}{2}\implies \cfrac{-170}{17}=\cfrac{(2+a_{17})}{2}
\\\\\\
-10=\cfrac{(2+a_{17})}{2}\implies -20=2+a_{17}\implies -22=a_{17}$

well, since the 17th term is that much, let's check what "d" is then anyway,

$\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of an arithmetic sequence}\\\\
a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\qquad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\
d=\textit{common difference}\\
----------\\
n=17\\
a_{17}=-22\\
a_1=2
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
-22=2+(17-1)d\implies -22=2+16d\implies -24=16d
\\\\\\
\cfrac{-24}{16}=d\implies -\cfrac{3}{2}=d$
