Math Problem Statement

99, 96, 93, ... Carilah rumus suku ke-n

Solution

The image shows a sequence of numbers: 99, 96, 93, ... followed by the text "Carilah rumus suku ke-n", which is in Indonesian and translates to "Find the formula for the nth term" in English.

Step-by-step solution:

  1. The sequence provided is: 99, 96, 93, ...

  2. Observing the differences between consecutive terms:

    • 99 - 96 = 3
    • 96 - 93 = 3 Hence, the sequence is an arithmetic sequence with a common difference d=3d = -3.
  3. The general formula for the nth term ana_n of an arithmetic sequence is: an=a1+(n1)da_n = a_1 + (n - 1) \cdot d Where:

    • a1a_1 is the first term (99),
    • dd is the common difference (-3).
  4. Substituting the values: an=99+(n1)(3)a_n = 99 + (n - 1) \cdot (-3) Simplifying: an=993(n1)a_n = 99 - 3(n - 1) an=993n+3a_n = 99 - 3n + 3 an=1023na_n = 102 - 3n

Formula for the nth term:

an=1023na_n = 102 - 3n
