Powered by AIGiven conditions on specific terms of an arithmetic progression can be used to solve for the first term ('a') and the common difference ('d'). For instance, if the third term is 16 and the difference between the 5th and the 7th terms is 12, use these conditions: the third term a + 2d = 16, and the difference between the 5th and 7th terms, a + 4d - (a + 6d) = 12 => -2d = 12, gives d = -6. Substituting d into the third-term equation gives a = 28 .
To derive the sum of integers that are multiples of given numbers within a range, follow these steps: Identify the smallest and largest multiples within the range to define the AP sequence. For multiple of integers m (like 2 and 5 simultaneously), the common multiple lcm(2, 5) = 10. Within 1 to 500, the sequence starts at 10 and ends at 500: we have an AP with a = 10, l (last) = 500, common difference d = 10. Calculate the number of terms n by n = (l-a)/d + 1, then sum S_n using S_n = n/2 * (a+l). For this example: n = 50, S_n = 50/2 * (10+500) = 12500 .
To determine if a sequence defined recursively is not an arithmetic progression, verify whether the common difference is consistent. Consider a sequence defined by a_n = n^2 - 1. The difference between successive terms a_(n+1) - a_n = (n+1)^2 - 1 - (n^2 - 1) = 2n + 1, which is not constant as it depends on n. Since the common difference is not a fixed value, the sequence does not qualify as an arithmetic progression .
To find the maximum distance traveled by an individual making repeated trips where items are placed at uniform distances, calculate the farthest point. Suppose the items are placed in an arithmetic sequence with the first item at distance d and each subsequent item extending by a meter, the farthest distance when returning to a base point is the sum of all drops: the maximum trip distance is 2 times the distance to the nth item, where n is the number of items. If objects extend to distance 2n from the starting point, and considering a return path, calculate as d + 2d + ... n times. With n intervening distances, check when object n is reached furthest .
A sequence is verified as an arithmetic progression (AP) if the difference between any two successive terms remains consistent throughout. For example, consider the sequence defined by a_n = 4n + 5. By the definition for AP, examine the difference a_(n+1) - a_n = (4(n+1) + 5) - (4n + 5) = 4, which remains constant. Hence, the sequence is an AP with a common difference of 4 .
To find when two sequences share an nth term equal value, set their terms equal. For APs 63 + 2n and 3 + 7(n-1), equate their nth terms: 63 + 2n = 3 + 7n, simplifying gives n = 12. This means for n = 12, both progressions reach identical terms .
To calculate installments when paying a debt using an arithmetic series, determine the first term and use the sum of installments. If a debt of Rs.36000 resolves in 40 installments and one-third remains after 30 inst. Set the sum of 30 installments (S_30) equal to 24000 (since 36k - 12k left). Use formula S_30 = 30/2 (2a + 29d) = 24000. Solve for first installment 'a' knowing d (change in installment amount), and extend to full resolution terms .
To find the first negative term of an AP, set the general term less than zero. For an AP with first term a and common difference d, the nth term is a + (n-1)d. For example, in the AP 24, 21, 18, 15,..., the nth term can be expressed as a_n = 24 - 3(n-1). Setting a_n < 0 gives 24 - 3n + 3 < 0, which simplifies to 27 < 3n, resulting in n > 9. Thus, the first negative term is at n = 10 .
The total distance in a potato race can be calculated using the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series. The distance from the starting point to each potato and back forms an arithmetic sequence as each potato is 3m apart, starting 5m from the bucket. Suppose there are n potatoes: the kth potato is at 5 + 3(k-1) meters (one-way). The total distance for one potato is 2 * (5 + 3(k-1)). Summing over all n potatoes, the total distance is the sum of 2(5 + 3(k-1)) for k = 1 to n, which simplifies to 2n(5 + 3(n-1)/2).
To find the number of natural numbers between 200 and 400 that are divisible by 7, first identify the smallest and largest numbers within that range that are multiples of 7. The smallest multiple of 7 greater than 200 is 203 (since 203 ÷ 7 = 29 with no remainder), and the largest multiple of 7 less than 400 is 399 (since 399 ÷ 7 = 57 with no remainder). This forms an arithmetic sequence with the first term (a) as 203, the last term as 399, and the common difference (d) as 7. Using the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence, the nth term can be expressed as 399 = 203 + (n-1)7. Solving for n, 399 - 203 = (n-1)7 gives n = 29. Thus, there are 29 natural numbers between 200 and 400 that are divisible by 7.
