Math Problem Statement
-101, -112, -123, -134, ___, ___, ___
Solution
The sequence provided in the image is:
Let's determine the pattern. To do that, we subtract consecutive terms:
The pattern is a constant difference of between each term. This means the sequence is an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of .
To find the next three terms:
Thus, the next three terms are:
Would you like more details or further explanations?
Here are 5 related questions for further exploration:
- How would you find the 10th term in this arithmetic sequence?
- Can you express the general term (nth term) of this arithmetic sequence?
- How would you sum the first 20 terms of this arithmetic sequence?
- What happens if the common difference is positive instead of negative?
- Can you think of a real-life situation where an arithmetic sequence with negative differences is applicable?
Tip: In arithmetic sequences, once you know the common difference and the first term, you can find any term in the sequence using the formula .
