Question

part 1: Create a scenario for an arithmetic sequence. For example, Jasmine practices the piano for ______ minutes on Monday. Every day she ___________ her practice time by _________. If she continues this pattern, how many minutes will she practice on the 7th day? Be sure to fill in the blanks with the words that will create an arithmetic sequence. Use your scenario to write the function for the 7th term in your sequence using sequence notation.

Part 2: Create a scenario for a geometric sequence. For example, Anthony goes to the gym for ____ minutes on Monday. Every day he ____his gym

Answer 1

@ganeshie8 last question?

Answer 2

@Hero

Answer 3

use the given example maybe

Answer 4

what do you mean

Answer 5

Jasmine practices the piano for ______ minutes on Monday. Every day she ___________ her practice time by _________.

Answer 6

Answer 7

ok so for the first blank I would put 20 second blank will be increased 10 minutes. Is that ok

Answer 8

for the second blank maybe make it some small number like 2 ?

Answer 9

the second blank was increased and the third is 10 minutes sorry

Answer 10

Jasmine practices the piano for `20` minutes on Monday. Every day she `increases` her practice time by `10` minutes

like this ?

Answer 11

yes!

Answer 12

looks good!

Answer 13

Part 2: Create a scenario for a geometric sequence. For example, Anthony goes to the gym for ______ minutes on Monday. Every day he _________his gym time by ____________. If he continues this pattern, how many minutes will he spend at the gym on the 5th day? Be sure to fill in the blanks with the words that will create a geometric sequence. Use your scenario to write the formula for the 5th term in your sequence using sequence notation.

Part 3: Use your scenario from part 2 to write a question that will lead to using the geometric series formula. Use the formula to solve for Sn in your scenario.

Answer 14

we're not done with part 1 yet

Answer 15

it got cut off I was just putting it up. and were not?

Answer 16

you need to find how many minutes she will practice on 7th day, right ?

Answer 17

oh ya I forgot

Answer 18

see if u can find out

Answer 19

give it a try

Answer 20

ok one sec.
Monday- 30 min
Tuesday- 40 min
Wednesday- 50 min
Thursday- 60 min
Friday- 70 min
Saturday- 80min
sunday- 90min

Answer 21

Perfect! so on 7th day she will be practicing 90 minutes

Answer 22

yes

Answer 23

\[a_7 = 30 + 60\]

\[a_7 = 30 + (7-1)10\]

Answer 24

is that the function that is being used?

Answer 25

yes notice that you can get the number of extra minutes after "n" days by multiplying "(n-1)" by the increment "10"

Answer 26

yes I do.

Answer 27

ok now for part 2. is it asking the same thing?
