Math Problem Statement

حل کن

In an arithmetic sequence (دنباله حسابی), various terms are increased or decreased by a given number of units, and the task is to find the 33rd term after all the adjustments.

Solution

The question provided is in Persian, and it appears to ask about finding a specific term in an arithmetic sequence (دنباله حسابی). Here's a translation and interpretation of the problem:


Translation of the problem:

  1. In an arithmetic sequence, the second term is 3 units more than the first term, the fourth term is 5 units more than the third term, the fifth term is 15 units more than the fourth term, and... (other terms with increases or decreases are mentioned).

Then, after making changes like adding or subtracting units to various terms, the problem asks: "Which term is the new 33rd term of the sequence?" The options provided are:

  1. 182
  2. 187
  3. 150
  4. 155

Let's break this down:

You are essentially asked to find the 33rd term of an arithmetic sequence where various adjustments are made to previous terms, such as adding or subtracting units.


Solution Strategy:

  1. Find the pattern: Identify the common difference in the arithmetic sequence. This difference can be determined by understanding the changes described in the sentences.

  2. Adjustments: It seems that terms are altered with additional or subtracted values. These changes might need to be considered to derive the new values of the sequence, especially after adjustments to the second, third, fourth, etc., terms.

  3. General term of an arithmetic sequence: Use the formula for the nn-th term of an arithmetic sequence: an=a1+(n1)da_n = a_1 + (n-1) \cdot d where:

    • ana_n is the nn-th term,
    • a1a_1 is the first term,
    • dd is the common difference,
    • nn is the term number.

Would you like me to walk through solving for the 33rd term with assumptions or provide any further details on how the sequence adjustments influence the result?


5 Related Questions:

  1. How can we determine the common difference dd in an arithmetic sequence from different terms?
  2. What impact do added or subtracted values to the terms have on the sequence?
  3. Can the 33rd term be determined directly from the given changes?
  4. How does modifying multiple terms in a sequence affect its general form?
  5. What is the general approach for solving for the nn-th term of a modified arithmetic sequence?

Tip: Always clarify the pattern in a sequence before applying formulas to avoid confusion from additional operations like adding or subtracting values.
