An arithmetic sequence with a third term of 8 and a constant difference of 5.

Mathematics

larisa [96]3 years ago

An arithmetic sequence (a_n) is as follows:

a_1\\a_2=a_1+d\\a_3= a_1+2d\\a_4=a_1+3d,... where a_1 is the first term and d is the constant difference, 

thus, we see that the n'th term of an arithmetic sequence is a_n=a_1+(n-1)d


in our particular case d=5, the third term is 8, so we have:

a_3=8=a_1+2\cdot5\\\\8=a_1+10\\\\a_1=-2


and the general term is a_n=-2+5(n-1),


Answer: first term is -2, n'th term is -2+5(n-1)

Andrew is elder to Brian by 2 years. Andrew's father Frank is twiceas old as Andrew, and Brian is twice as old as his sister Sar
babunello [35]

Let "x" represent the age of Brian.

Andrew is elder than Brian by 2 years, we can symbolize his age as "x+2"

Frank is twice as old as Andrew, we can symbolize his age as "2(x+2)"

Sarah has half the age of Brian's, we can symbolize her age as "x/2"

Frank ans Sarah's ages differ by 40 years, we can symbolize this as:

2(x+2)-\frac{x}{2}=40

Solve the term is parenthesis

\begin{gathered} 2x+4-\frac{1}{2}x=40 \\ 2x-\frac{1}{2}x+4=40 \\ \frac{3}{2}x=40-4 \\ \frac{3}{2}x=36 \\ x=24 \end{gathered}

x=24 years

Andrew's age is

x+2=24+2=26

Andrew is 26 years old
