Math Problem Statement
help me with no 6
Solution
Sure! Let’s solve Question 6 step by step.
Part (a):
First term: 9, term-to-term rule: add 9
-
Find the first six terms:
Start with 9 and add 9 repeatedly:- 1st term:
- 2nd term:
- 3rd term:
- 4th term:
- 5th term:
- 6th term:
So, the first six terms are:
9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54 -
Position-to-term rule (nth term):
Since the sequence increases by 9 each time, the formula is:
Simplify:
(This is the position-to-term rule where is the nth term.) -
Find the 50th term:
Using :
Part (b):
First term: 11, term-to-term rule: add 11
-
Find the first six terms:
Start with 11 and add 11 repeatedly:- 1st term:
- 2nd term:
- 3rd term:
- 4th term:
- 5th term:
- 6th term:
So, the first six terms are:
11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66 -
Position-to-term rule (nth term):
Since the sequence increases by 11 each time, the formula is:
Simplify:
(This is the position-to-term rule.) -
Find the 50th term:
Using :
Final Answers:
-
(a)
- First six terms: 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54
- Position-to-term rule:
- 50th term: 450
-
(b)
- First six terms: 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66
- Position-to-term rule:
- 50th term: 550
