Arithmetic Sequences Continued

Answer:

The common difference is 4

5, 9, 13, 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

5, _, _, 17

Solving (a): The common difference

Since it is an arithmetic sequence, the common difference can be solved using:

T_n = a + (n - 1)d

Where

a = 5

T_n = 17

n = 4 i.e. 4 terms

So:

T_n = a + (n - 1)d

17 = 5 +(4 - 1) * d

17 = 5 +3d

Collect like terms

3d = 17 - 5

3d = 12

d  =4

<em>Hence, the common difference is 4</em>

Solving (b): Complete the blanks.

To do this, we simply add 4 to each successive terms.

So: 5, 9, 13, 17

\dfrac{7}{4}  -  \dfrac{3}{2} -  \dfrac{2}{5}

= \dfrac{7 \times 5}{4 \times 5}  -  \dfrac{3 \times 10}{2 \times 10} -  \dfrac{2 \times 4}{5 \times 4}

= \dfrac{35}{20}  -  \dfrac{30}{20} -  \dfrac{8}{20}

= \dfrac{35-30-8}{20}

= \dfrac{3}{20}

---------------------------------------------------------------

-\dfrac{5}{16}  + \dfrac{3}{4} + \dfrac{1}{8}

= -\dfrac{5}{16}  + \dfrac{3 \times 4}{4 \times 4} + \dfrac{1 \times 2}{8 \times 2}

= -\dfrac{5}{16}  + \dfrac{12}{16} + \dfrac{2}{16}

= \dfrac{-5+ 12 + 2}{16}

= \dfrac{9}{16}

---------------------------------------------------------------

\dfrac{3}{4} -  \dfrac{1}{3} - \dfrac{7}{12}

= \dfrac{3 \times 3}{4 \times 3} -  \dfrac{1 \times 4}{3 \times 4} - \dfrac{7}{12}

= \dfrac{9}{12} -  \dfrac{4}{12} - \dfrac{7}{12}

= \dfrac{9 - 4 - 7}{12}

= -\dfrac{2}{12}

= -\dfrac{1}{6}

---------------------------------------------------------------

\dfrac{2}{9}  -  \dfrac{2}{12} -  \dfrac{2}{3}

= \dfrac{2}{9}  -  \dfrac{1}{6} -  \dfrac{2}{3}

= \dfrac{2 \times 2}{9 \times 2}  -  \dfrac{1 \times 3}{6 \times 3} -  \dfrac{2 \times 6}{3 \times 6}

= \dfrac{4}{18}  -  \dfrac{3}{18} -  \dfrac{12}{18}

= \dfrac{4 - 3 - 12}{18}

= - \dfrac{11}{18}

jamal is making pancakes. He has 6 3/4 cups of batter, but he needs a total of 12 cups. How much more batter does Jamal need?
vampirchik [111]
Jamil has already 6 3/4 cups of butter.
He need 12. SO in order to get the needed butter, we subtract 6 3/4 to 12.

= 12 - 6 3/4
= 11 4/4 - 6 3/4
= 5 1/4

So Jamil needs 5 1/4 cups of butter to achieve the 12 cups.
