Math Problem Statement
Solution
The question appears to be in Persian, and it translates to:
"Among the numbers -5 and , we've inserted 4 arithmetic means. Which of these is the largest number among these 4 arithmetic means?"
The answer choices provided are:
To solve this:
-
Identify the Terms in the Sequence: We have the first term and the last term , with 4 arithmetic means in between. Therefore, there are 6 terms in total, so this is an arithmetic sequence with 6 terms.
-
Determine the Common Difference: For an arithmetic sequence, the common difference can be found by the formula: where is the total number of terms. Here, , so: Converting to quarters:
-
Calculate the Sequence Terms: The terms of the sequence are:
- First term:
- Second term:
- Third term:
- Fourth term:
- Fifth term:
- Sixth term (last term):
-
Identify the Largest Term Among the Means: Among the 4 arithmetic means, the largest value is the fifth term:
