A) -10 B) -34 C) -38 D) -106 3) Find the fifth term of the geometric sequence in which t1 = 3 and tn = 2tn-1. A) 5 B) 6 C) 48 D) 96
Part a) Find the fifth term of the arithmetic sequence in which t1 = 3 and tn = tn-1 + 4 t1=3 t2=t1+4----> 3+4-----> 7 t3=t2+4-----> 7+4----> 11 t4=t3+4-----> 11+4---> 15 t5=t4+4-----> 15+4---> 19
the answer Part a) is 19
Part b) Find the tenth term of the arithmetic sequence in which t1 = 2 and t4 = -10
we know that tn=t1+(n-1)*d-----> d=[tn-t1]/(n-1) t1=2 t4=-10 n=4 find the value of d d=[-10-2]/(4-1)-----> d=-12/3----> d=-4 find the tenth term (t10) t10=t1+(10-1)*(-4)----> t10=2+9*(-4)----> t10=-34
the answer Part b) is -34
Part c) Find the fifth term of the geometric sequence in which t1 = 3 and tn = 2tn-1 t1=3 t2=2*t1----> 2*3----> 6 t3=2*t2----> 2*6----> 12 t4=2*t3-----> 2*12---> 24 t2=2*t4----> 2*24----> 48
