Find the first six terms and the sixth partial sum of the sequence whose nth term is a(sub)n=2n^2-nAn arithmetic sequence 6,11,16,21,26. Find the common difference for this sequence. Find a formula for the nth term a(sub)n f the sequence. Find the 35th term. Find the first six terms and the sixth partial sum of the sequence whose nth term is a(sub)n=2n^2-n
An arithmetic sequence 6,11,16,21,26. Find the common difference for this sequence. Find a formula for the nth term a(sub)n f the sequence. Find the 35th term.
An arithmetic sequence 6,11,16,21,26. Find the common difference for this sequence. Find a formula for the nth term a(sub)n f the sequence. Find the 35th term.
Explanation / Answer
1)
an=2n2-n
first six terms:
2*12-1,2*22-2,2*32-3,2*42-4,2*52-5,2*62-6
=2-1,8-2,18-3,32-4,50-5, 72-6
=1,6,15,28,45,66
sixth partial sum=1+6+15+28+45+66
=>sixth partial sum=161
=====================================================================
An arithmetic sequence 6,11,16,21,26
common difference for this sequence = 11-6
=> common difference for this sequence =5
nth term,an=6+((n-1)*5)
=>an=6+5n-5
=>an=1+ 5n
35th term.=1+(5*35)
=> 35th term.=1+175
=> 35th term.=176
