Math Problem Statement
小明將「-1, 0, 1」依序重複寫成數列「-1, 0, 1, -1, 0, 1, -1, 0, 1, …」。關於此數列,下列敘述何者正確?
(1) 第11個數字是1
(2) 第15個數字是0
(3) 第16個數字是-1
(4) 第18個數字是-1
Solution
The sequence is given as repeated indefinitely. To solve this problem, let’s first analyze the sequence and determine the correctness of the given statements.
- The sequence has a repeating cycle of 3 numbers: .
- The position in the sequence corresponds to the position in the cycle:
- If , the number is .
- If , the number is .
- If , the number is .
Checking each statement:
-
11th number:
- , so the 11th number is .
- Incorrect (not ).
-
15th number:
- , so the 15th number is .
- Incorrect (not ).
-
16th number:
- , so the 16th number is .
- Correct.
-
18th number:
- , so the 18th number is .
- Incorrect (not ).
Conclusion:
The correct statement is (3) 第16個數字是-1.
