Question

5) Consider the arithmetic sequence −48, −44, −40 · · · a) What is its common difference ? b) Write the algebraic form of this sequence c) What is the position of 0 in this sequence ? d) How many negative terms are there in this sequence ?

Answer 1

Answer:

48 negative terms, common difference is 1 rest I am not sure

Answer 2

Answer:

To find the "nth" term of an arithmetic sequence, start with the first term, a(1). Add to that the product of "n-1" and "d" (the difference between any two consecutive terms). For example, take the arithmetic sequence 3, 9, 15, 21, 27.... a(1) = 3. d = 6 (because the difference between consecutive terms is always 6.
