Answer:

  d = (a[n2] -a[n1])/(n2 -n1)

  a1 = a[n1] -d(n1 -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The generic term is ...

  an = a1 +d(n -1)

Fill in the values associated with the two terms and solve the simultaneous equations.

For terms n1 and n2, their difference will be ...

  a[n2] -a[n1] = (a1 +d(n2 -1)) -(a1 +d(n1 -1)) = d(n2 -n1)

Dividing by the coefficient of d tells you ...

  d = (a[n2] -a[n1])/(n2 -n1)

Once you have the value of d, you can find the first term.

  a[n1] = a1 +d(n1 -1)

  a1 = a[n1] -d(n1 -1)

_____

<u>Example</u>:

  3rd term = 12

  7th term = 20

  d = (20 -12)/(7 -3) = 8/4 = 2

 a1 = a3 -d(3 -1) = 12 -2(2) = 8

The n-th term is ...

  an = a1 +d(n -1)

  an = 8 +2(n -1)

He needs to run with approximately 6429 for a distance of 9 km

<h3>How to determine the number of strides?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Length of stride = 1.4 m

Distance for marathon = 9 km

The number of strides needed is then calculated as:

Number of stride = Distance for marathon/Length of stride

Substitute the known values in the above equation

Number of stride = 9km/1.4m

Convert km to m

Number of stride = 9000m/1.4m

Evaluate the quotient

Number of stride = 6428.57143

Approximate the estimate

Number of stride = 6429

Hence, he needs to run with approximately 6429 for a distance of 9 km
