Ai. Arithmetic sequence

Aii. Tn = 5 + 7n

Bi. Geometric

Bii. Tn = 8 × 2ⁿ¯¹

Step-by-step explanation:

To successfully answer the questions given above, note the following:

1. If the sequence is Arithmetic, then:

2nd – 1st = 3rd – 2nd = common difference (d)

2. If the sequence is geometric, then,

2nd / 1st = 3rd / 2nd = common ratio (r)

3. A sequence can not be arithmetic geometric at the same time.

4. The nth term of arithmetic sequence is:

Tn = a + (n – 1)d

5. The nth term of geometric sequence is:

Tn = arⁿ¯¹

A. Sequence => 12, 19, 26

i. Determination of the type of sequence.

We'll begin by calculating the common difference

1st term = 12

2nd term = 19

3rd term = 26

Common difference (d) = 2nd – 1st

d = 19 – 12 = 7

OR

d = 3rd – 2nd

d = 26 – 19 = 7

Since a common difference exist in the sequence, the sequence is arithmetic sequence.

ii. Determination of the nth term.

Common difference (d) = 7

1st term (a) = 12

nth term (Tn) =?

Tn = a + (n – 1)d

Tn = 12 + (n – 1)7

Tn = 12 + 7n – 7

Tn = 5 + 7n

B. Sequence => 8, 16, 32

Bi. Determination of the type of sequence.

Let us begin by calculating the common ratio.

1st term = 8

2nd term = 16

3rd term = 32

Common ratio (r) = 2nd / 1st

r = 16 / 8

r = 2

OR

r = 3rd / 2nd

r = 32 / 16

r = 2

Since a common ratio exist in the sequence, the sequence is geometric.

Bii. Determination of the nth term.

Common ratio(r) = 2

1st term (a) = 8

nth term =?

Tn = arⁿ¯¹

Tn = 8 × 2ⁿ¯¹

step-by-step explanation:

answer:  

step-by-step explanation:

odd numbers are only divisible by 1 and itself.

even numbers are divisible by more than 1 and itself.

for example 6 is even because it is divisible by more than 1 and its self. 1 x 6= 6 ; 2 x 3= 6

and 7 is odd because only 7 x 1 equals seveb
