Describe The Relationship Between The Terms In Each Arithmetic Sequence Then Write The Next Three Terms In Each Sequence Examples 1 And 2 class=

Sagot :

Answer:

(a) The sum of the previous term and 9

(b) 36, 45, 54

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Sequence: Arithmetic Progression

[tex]0,9,18,27[/tex]

Solving (a): Describe the relationship in each term

First, we calculate the common difference (d)

In arithmetic progression:

[tex]d = T_n - T_{n-1}[/tex]

Take n as 2

[tex]d = T_2 - T_{2-1}[/tex]

[tex]d = T_2 - T_{1}[/tex]

Where

[tex]T_2 = 9\ and\ T_1 = 0[/tex]

[tex]d =9-0[/tex]

[tex]d =9[/tex]

The relationship is: The sum of the previous term and 9

Solving (b): The next three terms

As said in (a) each term is derived from a sum of 9 and the previous term

So, we have:

[tex]Next\ Term = 27 + 9 = 36[/tex]

[tex]Next = 36 + 9 = 45[/tex]

[tex]Next = 45 + 9 = 54[/tex]

Hence, the next three terms are: 36, 45 and 54
