Describe a real world scenario that is an arithmetic series. Show your work as you find the 7th term of your scenario.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a moving object which covers a distance of 1 , 3 , 5 , 7 metres in equal intervals of time. it is moving with constant acceleration. the common difference is 2 m the 7th term would be 1 + 2(7 - 1) = = 13

OpenStudy (anonymous):

another example is a straight line graph with a positive or negative slope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

stone steps of uniform height is another

lol - good one!

OpenStudy (coconut):

in this problem 1 + 2(7 - 1) = = 1Does the 7 represent the term your trying to find?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The nth term in a arithmetic sequence is given by:\[a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d\]Where d is the common difference, the progression. So, yeah, 7 there is the 7th term.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7 is the number of each term - the 7th term

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anything that increases or decreases in equal steps is an arithmetic series
