Math Problem Statement

What's the 100 term of B,B,F,D,F,B... Sequence?

Solution

To find the 100th term of the sequence B,B,F,D,F,B,B, B, F, D, F, B, \dots, let's first identify the pattern.

The sequence repeats in a cycle. Let's break it down:

  1. BB
  2. BB
  3. FF
  4. DD
  5. FF
  6. BB

The sequence is B,B,F,D,F,BB, B, F, D, F, B and then it repeats.

This pattern has 6 terms, so the 100th term will be the same as the (100mod6)(100 \mod 6)th term.

Now, let's calculate 100mod6100 \mod 6:

100÷6=16 remainder 4100 \div 6 = 16 \text{ remainder } 4

So, 100mod6=4100 \mod 6 = 4.

The 4th term in the sequence is DD.

Thus, the 100th term of the sequence is DD.

  8. If the sequence were B,B,F,D,F,B,DB, B, F, D, F, B, D, what would the 100th term be?

Tip: When dealing with repeating sequences, modulo operations are key to determining the position of any term.
