Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's solve the questions from the image one by one:
1. Find the 100th term of the AP 50, 56, 62, ...
Given:
- First term,
- Common difference,
The formula for the -th term of an arithmetic progression (AP) is: For the 100th term (): The 100th term is 644.
2. Find the -th term of the AP 18, 16.5, 15, ...
Given:
- First term,
- Common difference,
The -th term is: So, the general formula for the -th term is:
3. Which term of the AP 13, 20, 27, ... is 384?
Given:
- First term,
- Common difference,
Using the formula for the -th term: Solve for : So, 384 is the 54th term.
4. Which term of the AP 21, 18, 15, ... is 0?
Given:
- First term,
- Common difference,
Using the formula for the -th term: Solve for : So, 0 is the 8th term.
5. Can 200 be any term of the AP 3, 7, 11, ...?
Given:
- First term,
- Common difference,
Using the formula for the -th term: Solve for : Since is not an integer, 200 cannot be a term in this AP.
Would you like details for the remaining problems, or do you have any questions about these solutions? Here are five related questions for further practice:
- What is the sum of the first 100 terms of the AP 50, 56, 62, ...?
- How do you find the sum of the first terms of an arithmetic progression?
- What is the general form of the sum formula for an arithmetic series?
- How would you solve an AP if given the sum instead of the number of terms?
- Can you derive the formula for the middle term of a finite arithmetic sequence?
Tip: Always remember that the difference between consecutive terms is constant in an arithmetic progression, which simplifies finding any term or the sum of terms.
