Solution

Sure! Let’s solve Question 6 step by step.


Part (a):

First term: 9, term-to-term rule: add 9

  1. Find the first six terms:
    Start with 9 and add 9 repeatedly:

    • 1st term: 99
    • 2nd term: 9+9=189 + 9 = 18
    • 3rd term: 18+9=2718 + 9 = 27
    • 4th term: 27+9=3627 + 9 = 36
    • 5th term: 36+9=4536 + 9 = 45
    • 6th term: 45+9=5445 + 9 = 54

    So, the first six terms are:
    9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54

  2. Position-to-term rule (nth term):
    Since the sequence increases by 9 each time, the formula is:
    Tn=9+(n1)×9T_n = 9 + (n-1) \times 9
    Simplify:
    Tn=9nT_n = 9n
    (This is the position-to-term rule where TnT_n is the nth term.)

  3. Find the 50th term:
    Using Tn=9nT_n = 9n:
    T50=9×50=450T_{50} = 9 \times 50 = 450


Part (b):

First term: 11, term-to-term rule: add 11

  1. Find the first six terms:
    Start with 11 and add 11 repeatedly:

    • 1st term: 1111
    • 2nd term: 11+11=2211 + 11 = 22
    • 3rd term: 22+11=3322 + 11 = 33
    • 4th term: 33+11=4433 + 11 = 44
    • 5th term: 44+11=5544 + 11 = 55
    • 6th term: 55+11=6655 + 11 = 66

    So, the first six terms are:
    11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66

  2. Position-to-term rule (nth term):
    Since the sequence increases by 11 each time, the formula is:
    Tn=11+(n1)×11T_n = 11 + (n-1) \times 11
    Simplify:
    Tn=11nT_n = 11n
    (This is the position-to-term rule.)

  3. Find the 50th term:
    Using Tn=11nT_n = 11n:
    T50=11×50=550T_{50} = 11 \times 50 = 550


Final Answers:

  1. (a)

    • First six terms: 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54
    • Position-to-term rule: Tn=9nT_n = 9n
    • 50th term: 450
  2. (b)

    • First six terms: 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66
    • Position-to-term rule: Tn=11nT_n = 11n
    • 50th term: 550

Tip: In arithmetic sequences, the common difference determines how much each term increases or decreases. The formula Tn=a+(n1)dT_n = a + (n-1)d always works!
