We know that:

There are n arithmetic means between the numbers 33 and -3

second last mean: second mean = 1:5

Using this, we can find that the value of n is 9.

Now let's see how we need to use the information.

"There are n arithmetic means between the numbers 33 and -3"

This means that we will have a sequence like:

33, a₁, a₂, ..., aₙ, -3

And by the given ratio, we know that:

aₙ₋₂:a₂  = 1:5

Also, because this is an arithmetic sequence we have:

a₁ = 33 + d

a₂ = 33 + d + d

aₙ ₋ ₂ = 33 + (n - 2)*d = -3 - 2*d

Because of the ratio, we will have that:

aₙ₋₂/a₂ = 1/5

We can replace what the left side by:

(-3 - 2*d)/(33 + 2*d) = 1/5

now we can solve this for d.

-3 - 2*d = (33 + 2*d)*(1/5)

5*(-3 - 2*d ) = (33 + 2*d)

-15 - 10d = 33 + 2d

-15 - 33 = 2d + 10d

-48 = 12d

-48/12 = -4 = d

So now we know that the value of d is -4.

Now we can use the equation

aₙ ₋ ₂ = 33 + (n - 2)*d = -3 - 2*d

to find the value of n:

33 + (n - 2)*d = -3 - 2*d

33 + (n - 2)*-4 = -3 - 2*-4

33 - 4n + 8 =  -3 + 8

41 - 4n = 5

-4n = 5 - 41 = -36

n = 36/4 = 9

The value of n is 9.

3) . Ddraw the radius to the right side of the chord. So you formed a right triangleNow let's apply Pythagoras

3.6² + 5.5²= x² ==> x = 6.57 ≈ 6.6


4) same logic but the other leg = x/2 you will find
x² = 133/4 & x =5.766≈ 5.8

Generalize the pattern by finding the nth term.
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

4n+2

Step-by-step explanation:

The common difference between the terms is 4 which means that the sequence is an arithmetic sequence.

The general formula for arithmetic sequence is:

a_{n}=a_{0}+(n-1)d

where a_n is the nth term, a_0 is the first term and d is the common difference between them.

We know that

a_{0}=6\\d=4

Putting the value in general formula:

a_{n}=6+4(n-1)\\a_{n}=6+4n-4\\a_{n}=4n+6-4\\a_{n}=4n+2\\

So the generalized pattern is 4n+2 ..
