To extrapolate the given sequence, we first analyze the pattern between the terms:
Differences between consecutive terms:
- 4000−0=4000
- 9000−4000=5000
- 14980−9000=5980
- 21920−14980=6940
- 29800−21920=7880
- 38600−29800=8800
- 48310−38600=9710
- 58900−48310=10590
- 70360−58900=11460
- 82680−70360=12320
- 95820−82680=13140
- 109790−95820=13970
- 124550−109790=14760
- 140100−124550=15550
- 156420−140100=16320
Observations:
The differences themselves form an increasing arithmetic sequence, with a common difference of 980 (e.g., 5000−4000=1000,5980−5000=980, etc.).
Formula for the differences:
Let the difference at the n-th position be dn. The formula for dn is:
dn=4000+(n−1)⋅980
Generating the next 10 terms:
Using the last term in the sequence (156420) as the starting point, we calculate the next differences and add them cumulatively.
- d16=4000+15⋅980=16480
- d17=4000+16⋅980=17460
- d18=4000+17⋅980=18440
- d19=4000+18⋅980=19420
- d20=4000+19⋅980=20400
- d21=4000+20⋅980=21380
- d22=4000+21⋅980=22360
- d23=4000+22⋅980=23340
- d24=4000+23⋅980=24320
- d25=4000+24⋅980=25300
Adding these to the previous term:
- 156420+16480=172900
- 172900+17460=190360
- 190360+18440=208800
- 208800+19420=228220
- 228220+20400=248620
- 248620+21380=270000
- 270000+22360=292360
- 292360+23340=315700
- 315700+24320=340020
- 340020+25300=365320
Final Sequence:
0,4000,9000,14980,21920,29800,38600,48310,58900,70360,82680,95820,109790,124550,140100,156420,172900,190360,208800,228220,248620,270000,292360,315700,340020,365320

5 Follow-Up Questions:
- Would you like to derive a formula for the n-th term of the sequence?
- Can we analyze how quickly the sequence grows as n increases?
- Do you want to calculate specific properties like the sum of these terms?
- Should we graph the sequence to visualize its growth?
- Can this pattern be applied to a real-world problem you're solving?
Tip:
When working with sequences, always check for patterns in differences or ratios to identify arithmetic or geometric progressions.
