Math Problem Statement
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to analyze the given information in the context of an arithmetic sequence.
The problem states:
- The sum of the first term (suku ke-1) and the third term (suku ke-3) is 30.
- The sum of the logarithms of the first, second, and third terms is .
Let's define the first term of the arithmetic sequence as , and the common difference as . Then:
- The first term is .
- The second term is .
- The third term is .
From the first piece of information:
From the second piece of information (sum of the logarithms): Using the property , this becomes: This simplifies to: Thus, we have:
Now, using Equation 1, , we substitute into Equation 2 and solve for the possible values of and .
Let me now calculate the values that satisfy these conditions. sympy import symbols, Eq, solve, log
Define the variables
a, d = symbols('a d')
Equation 1: a + d = 15
eq1 = Eq(a + d, 15)
Equation 2: a(a + d)(a + 2d) = 3000
eq2 = Eq(a * (a + d) * (a + 2 * d), 3000)
Solve the system of equations
solution = solve((eq1, eq2), (a, d)) solutionThe solution to the system of equations gives two possible pairs for the values of and :
- ,
- ,
Thus, the first term (suku ke-1) could either be 10 or 20, depending on the value of the common difference.
Looking at the choices in the question, the correct answer is:
- D. 10 atau 20
