Insert 3 arithmetic means between 6
and 54.
Answers
Solution:
ARITHMETIC SEQUENCE:
Finding the THREE TERMS or 3 arithmetic means between 6 and 54:
Let a2, a3, and a4 be the three terms missing between 6 and 54:
This means that we have 5 terms but we don't know the 2nd 3rd and 4th terms.
First thing to do is find first the common difference (d)
That is,
a₅ = a₁ + (n-1)d
54 = 6 + (5-1)d
54 = 6 + 4d
54-6 = 4d
48/4 = 4d/4
d = 12
So we substitute the known values:
a₂ = a₁ + 12
a₂ = 6 + 12
a₂ = 18
a₃ = a₂ +12
a₃ = 18 +12
a₃ = 30
a₄ = a₃ +12
a₄ = 30 +12
a₄ = 42
Therefore the sequence are 6, 18, 30 , 42 ,54.
SOLUTION
TO DETERMINE
Insert 3 arithmetic means between 6 and 54.
EVALUATION
We have to insert 3 arithmetic means between 6 and 54.
Let x , y , z are 3 arithmetic means between 6 and 54.
Then 6 , x , y , z , 54 are in Arithmetic Progression
Let common difference = d
So we have
x = 6 + d
y = 6 + 2d
z = 6 + 3d
54 = 6 + 4d
Now 54 = 6 + 4d gives
6 + 4d = 54
⇒ 4d = 48
⇒ d = 12
Thus we have
x = 6 + d = 6 + 12 = 18
y = 6 + 2d = 6 + 24 = 30
z = 6 + 3d = 6 + 36 = 42
FINAL ANSWER
Hence the required 3 arithmetic means between 6 and 54 are 18 , 30 , 42
