Sequences: Determine the general term of the following sequences:

A. 3, 7, 11, 15, 19, ...

B. -3, 9, -27, 81, -243, ...

C.

A.3, 7, 11, 15, 19, ...

The first term is 3 and the common difference is 4.

The nth term is:

aₙ = a₁ + (n - 1)daₙ = 3 + 4(n - 1) = 4n - 1aₙ = 4n - 1B.-3, 9, -27, 81, -243, ...

The first term is -3 and common ratio is -3.

The nth term is:

aₙ = a₁rⁿ⁻¹aₙ = -3*(-3)ⁿ⁻¹ = (-3)°aₙ = (-3)ⁿC.3/4, 5/7, 7/10, 9/13, 11/16, ...

The numerator and the denominator are both AP.

The numerator:

b₁ = 3, d = 2

The nth term is:

bₙ = 3 + 2(n - 1) = 2n + 1

The denominator:

c₁ = 4, d = 3

The nth term is:

cₙ = 4 + 3(n - 1) = 3n + 1

The nth term of the sequence is:

aₙ = bₙ/cₙaₙ = (2n + 1)/(3n + 1)

First, think of what you know. you know that the number t the end of the equation will need to be subtracted because it is the money he lost from buying the lawn mower. and your first two weeks have negative profit, so that tells you that c and d are wrong. now you can plug any of the weeks into a and b to see which one works. i'll start with plugging week 1 into a.this isn't right because it says your answer for week one should be -90.so now we need to try the same thing with b.this one got you the right answer, (sometimes if you only check with one of the weeks multiple will work so you need to check with more of the weeks, but it worked out fine here)this means that b is the correct answer.let me know if you need more clarification. i hope this : )
