The number of terms in the given arithmetic sequence is n = 10. Using the given first, last term, and the common difference of the arithmetic sequence, the required value is calculated.
<h3>What is the nth term of an arithmetic sequence?</h3>The general form of the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is
an = a1 + (n - 1)d
Where,
a1 - first term
n - number of terms in the sequence
d - the common difference
<h3>Calculation:</h3>The given sequence is an arithmetic sequence.
First term a1 = = 3/2
Last term an = = 5/2
Common difference d = 1/9
From the general formula,
an = a1 + (n - 1)d
On substituting,
5/2 = 3/2 + (n - 1)1/9
⇒ (n - 1)1/9 = 5/2 - 3/2
⇒ (n - 1)1/9 = 1
⇒ n - 1 = 9
⇒ n = 9 + 1
∴ n = 10
Thus, there are 10 terms in the given arithmetic sequence.
