find the next three terms in each sequence 1. 13,26,39,52... 2. 3/4, 1 1/2, 2 1/4, 3,... 3. -7, -14, -21, -28,...

@soprano.h.d0816

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please help

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Time to put your analysis skills to good use: 13,26,39,52... How does one get from 13 to 26? How does one get from 26 to 39?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh 13 so what about the second one can you help me. @mathmale

OpenStudy (vannieduval):

Do u need help

OpenStudy (vannieduval):

Do u need help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

with question 2 and 3

OpenStudy (vannieduval):

okay give me a min

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (vannieduval):

just think k find the next sequeces htey are like 2 3/4 kinda like that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what i don't get it

OpenStudy (vannieduval):

k 2 and 3/4 think of that as like a fraction

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (vannieduval):

get it

OpenStudy (vannieduval):

or are you still lost

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean you just told me to imagine 2 3/4 as a fraction just what's the answer i still am confuse

OpenStudy (vannieduval):

hold on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (vannieduval):

@aziaboo45

OpenStudy (mathmale):

@studygirl13 : find the next three terms in each sequence 1. 13,26,39,52... You've mentioned 13, which separates each term from the previous term. Correct. But you're not done until you've found the next 3 terms of 1. 13,26,39,52... Please do that now.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

omg i already found the three terms for 1 i just need 2 and 3 now

OpenStudy (mathmale):

"2. 3/4, 1 1/2, 2 1/4, 3,... " How do you obtain 1 1/2 from 3/4? How do you obtain 2 1/4 from 1 1/2? and so on. Find the "common ratio," r, and then find the next three terms of 3/4, 1 1/2, 2 1/4, 3,...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (vannieduval):

ik there being confusing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can somebody just give me the answer

OpenStudy (vannieduval):

@aziaboo45 can you help them plzeverybody else is not helping

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@soprano.h.d0816 @MissSmartiez

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

What do you think is the sequence.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

How do you obtain 1 1/2 from 3/4? Please think about and discuss this. How would you obtain 10 from 5? Explain. How would you obtain 21 from 7? explain. How would you obtain 1 1/2 from 3/4? Follow the same procedure.

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

13 _ 26 gets you 26?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u don't make since @mathmale

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

I can tell you right now, it is +

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

What plus 13 equals 26.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i now question one i got that one i just need question 2 mostly and question3

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Geometric sequence. Hint.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

omg 13+13=26

OpenStudy (mathmale):

@studygirl13: If you were the helper, would you be motivated to continue helping someone who told you "you don't make sense?" Perhaps it is you who has not done enough preliminary study.

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

exactly, we have 1.

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Mathmale has a point, I would be a bit offended if someone requested assistance and said I don't make sense.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know i said i did 1 already i just need 2 and 3

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

3/4, 1 1/2, 2 1/4, 3 Easier way.... Decimal time ;)

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

0.75, 1.5, 2.25, 3.

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Inverse operations. 1.5 - 0.75 = ?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

How would you obtain 1.5 from 0.75? Think! Addition? subtraction? multiplication? division? square root? what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um ok it is 0.75

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

^ Listen to mathmale, I should have questioned you before giving you the information.. So yes, 0.75, now the rule is? x + 0.75. so, 3 + 0.75 Keep this up, find the 3 next terms.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why 3 plus 0.75?

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

The function rule is x + 0.75... To resume the sequence, continue from 3. so 3 + 0.75 = ... then + that with 0.75

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so 3+0.75=3.75

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Better look up "arithmetic sequence" and ensure that you understand this BEFORE you ask "where does that 3 come from?"

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Now that + 0.75

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

then that sum by 0.75 and 2 is completed. Get it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4.5

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

now, that by 0.75

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5.25

OpenStudy (mathmale):

How's that again? "now that by 0.75"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait so what are the three numbers

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Again, I ask y ou this: "how do you get from 3/4 to 1 1/2?" What are you doing to 3/4 to obtain 1 1/2? How do you obtain 2 1/4 from 1 1/2? What are you doing? How do you obtain 3 from 2 1/4? What are you doing here? What's the next term of this arithmetic sequence? What should you be doing? There's a pattern here; you must learn how to recognize it.

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

1. 13,26,39,52, 65, 78, and 91 (function, x + 3) 2. 3/4, 1 1/2, 2 1/4, 3, 3 3/4, 4 1/2, and 5 1/4. (function, x + 0.75)

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Now, can you conduct 3 on your own. You must, because we need to make sure you have it. (We inversed the decimals into fractions)

OpenStudy (mathmale):

MissSmartiez: Are you actually giving away answers? If so, for what purpose?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i will try

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Now you know how to find the function correct? Explain those steps.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

The whole point is for studygirl13 to learn how to do these problems herself.

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

First, before anything, we must find the function rule. Can you find out the operation?

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

-7 _ -14 what with -7 gets us to -14?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup got three it was easy just add -7

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

I am aware of this, mathmale, I ask the student after we have conducted some steps TOGETHER.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

You still need to guide and encourage your student to find her own end results.

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Now can you check that theory? -14 + -7 = what?

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

That is what I am doing for 3. Guiding through the steps, however, not telling the mathematics procedures.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3. 3. -7, -14, -21, -28, -35, -42, -49

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Ah, correct! Now, label down the function rule smart owlet ;)

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

You know get how we found the function rule correct? :)! Good job on number 3, remember these tactics.
