i will give a medal to who ever will help me??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

with what

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Arithmetic Sequences

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok shoot

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

hi how may i help you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which expression below produces the nth term in the sequence? 5 , -1 , -7 , -13 , -19 , ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract 6 each time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12 - 6n 11 - 6n 11 + 6n 10 + 7n these are the answers

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

So you have options

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay i get that but it would ether be a or b right

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

Test the first term in each of the options first :)

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

Then test the second term

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

2 terms are enough for testing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so b??

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay i will be your best friend if u will help me with all 10 questions??

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

I can't help you in your exam

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

You must understand the concept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its not please please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay just help me on this one

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

and you still haven't typed your question out

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

and you deleted your question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

. What number pattern is generated by the following expression when n = 1, 2, 3, 4, ...? 3 + n/2 3 1/2, 5, 5 1/2, 7, ... 3 1/2, 4 1/2, 5 1/2, 6 1/2, ... 3 1/2, 4 1/2, 5, 5 1/2,... 3 1/2, 4, 4 1/2, 5, ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the sequence is 3=n/2

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

What's \(3+\dfrac n2\) when \(n=1\)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3 and a 1/2

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

when \(n=2\)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4..?

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

yep and problem solved

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay how did u get that n=2 and 1??

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

The \(3+\dfrac n2\) is a formula of the sequence

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

That means that the \(n\)th term of the sequence is \(3+\dfrac n2\)

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

So the \(1\)st term of the sequence is \(3+\dfrac12\) and the \(2\)nd term of the sequence is \(3+\dfrac22\) et cetera et cetera

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i still dont get it sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay i just did this one and got it wrong can u tell me what i did wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the value of the 8th term in the sequence? -3 , -6 , -9 , -12 , -15 , ... -21 -22 -27 -24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i picked a it was d

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

so the first term is -3

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

second is -6 third is -9 fourth is -12 fifth is -15 sixth is -18 seventh is -21 eighth is -24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh blond moment

OpenStudy (anonymous):

blonde

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay how about this u just go over them and see if i got them right??

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

ok?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which expression below produces the nth term in the sequence? 9 , 4 , -1 , -6 , -11 , ... 14 + 5n 14 - 5n 13 + 6n 15 - 5n i think its b..?

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the value of the 8th term in the sequence? 8 , 14 , 20 , 26 , 32 , ... 50 62 56 38 is it a..?

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

. Which expression below produces the nth term in the sequence? 12 , 16 , 20 , 24 , 28 , ... 15 - 3n 9 + 4n 8 + 4n 16 - 4n its ether c or d..?

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

well what's its common difference?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it b..?

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

nope it's one of c and d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh its d

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

nope, it doesn't match the second term

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so c

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

yep as i said test the first two terms and you'll be fine

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The table below shows the value of the first five terms in a sequence. Position Value of Term 1 0.5 2 0.55 3 0.6 4 0.65 5 0.7 n ? Which expression can be used to find the value of the nth term? 0.45n - 1.15 0.05n + 0.45 0.45n + 0.05 0.1n + 0.3 i do not get this one

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

This is just the same type of question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be c??

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

exactly :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay i kinda get it now

OpenStudy (anonymous):
