What will be the first negative term in the sequence 87,84,81​

Mathematics
1 answer:
o-na [289]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

a₃₁

Step-by-step explanation:

The terms have a common difference between consecutive terms, that is

d = 84 - 87 = 81 - 84 = - 3

This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with nth term

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = 87 and d = - 3 , then

a_{n} = 87 - 3(n - 1) = 87 - 3n + 3 = 90 - 3n

To find when a_{n} < 0 , solve

90 - 3n < 0 ( subtract 90 from both sides )

- 3n < - 90

Divide both sides by - 3, reversing the symbol as a result of dividing by a negative quantity, then

n > 30

Thus the 31st term will be the first negative term

matrenka [14]

Jenny won the race as she finished the race much more quickly and has greater average speed than Lester.

\sf \boxed{\sf speed:\frac{distance}{time \ taken} }

Jenny: distance/time = 100/15.2 = 6.58 m/s = 6.6 m/s

Lester: distance/time = 100/15.7 = 6.37 m/s = 6.4 m/s
