Need help with give MEDAL!
Part 1: Using complete sentences, explain the difference between an arithmetic sequence and an arithmetic series. Part 2: Describe a real world scenario that is an arithmetic series. Show your work as you find the 7th term of your scenario.
Part 1: If a sequence of values follows a pattern of adding a fixed amount from one term to the next, it is referred to as an arithmetic sequence. The number added to each term is constant (always the same). A sequence is an ordered list of numbers. The sum of the terms of a sequence is called a series.
Ok ty and how about for part 2?
A coffee shop in a city has usually has 10 visitors between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. After a while, its customers kept increasing by 2 every day for 7 days in a row. Assume that each time a customer orders one cup of coffee. How many cups of coffee were sold on the seventh day? This is an arithmetic series with first term a=10 and common difference d=2. 7th term = a+(7-1)d =a+6d =10+(6)(2) = 22
OR MAYBE Okay, lets say that you have a job. At this particular job you earn 56 dollars an hr(that a great job you have, you actually earn more than me). Now this possible real world scenario can be modeled by the artihmetic sequence : an=56n. This means that i your worked 1 hour, you would earn 56 dollars. Now can you figure out : a7=56n
ty so much
