Math Problem Statement

1,4,7,10 _, _? Tyoe of sequence

Solution

The sequence 1,4,7,10,1, 4, 7, 10, \ldots is an arithmetic sequence.

Explanation:

  • Arithmetic Sequence: A sequence where the difference between consecutive terms is constant.

In this sequence:

  • The first term (a1a_1) is 1.
  • The common difference (dd) is 41=34 - 1 = 3.

To find the next two terms:

  • The 5th term: 10+3=1310 + 3 = 13
  • The 6th term: 13+3=1613 + 3 = 16

So the next two terms are 13 and 16.

Here are some related questions to consider:

  1. How do you find the nth term of an arithmetic sequence?
  2. What is the formula for the sum of the first n terms in an arithmetic sequence?
  3. Can an arithmetic sequence have a common difference of 0? If so, what would it look like?
  4. How do arithmetic sequences differ from geometric sequences?
  5. What are some real-world examples where arithmetic sequences are applied?

Tip: In an arithmetic sequence, if you know the first term and the common difference, you can easily find any term in the sequence using the formula an=a1+(n1)×da_n = a_1 + (n-1) \times d.
