Which represents the type of sequence: 33, 31, 28, 24, 19, …?
arithmetic
geometric
neither arithmetic nor geometric
both arithmetic and geometric
sol'n:
aN = a1 + (n-1)d
where:
aN = nth term
a1 = 1st term
n = no. of terms
d = common difference = 62-48 =48-34 = 34-20 = 14
a10 = -64 + (10-1)(14)
a10 = 64
answer = 64
On second question.. i think it's neither arithmetic nor geometric, because they don't have a common differece and common ratio..
It's 64.
Arithmetic.
well it goes up by 14 each time so -6+14 and so on until the 10th is 64 i believe, and im guessing its arithmetic :)
here,
a=-62
d=-48-(-62)=14
n=10
we have, tn=a+(n-1)d
=-62+(10-1)14
= 9*14-62
=126-62
=64 Ans.
hi,
we should use the formula instead of doing it old school,
a+(n-1)d
-62 + (9)(14)
= 64
c)
third choice but did you really need this being answered it shows a lack of understanding - learn this stuff!
