Respuesta :
The 6th and 5th terms of the giving sequence are respectively; 24 and 15
What are the missing terms of an Arithmetic Sequence?
We are given the first 3 terms of the sequence as; 1, 3 and 5.
We are told that the 7th term is 35.
Let xₙ be the nth term number in the quadratic sequence
dₙ is first difference number in the quadratic sequence
From the given sequence, we see that there is a common difference of 2 for the first 3 terms and so they follow an arithmetic sequence which is;
dₙ = 2n - 1
However, when we apply this up to the 7th term, that would not work. Thus, let us use the differences. We see that sum of two consecutive number position of terms is equal to the difference between the two consecutive terms.
Thus;
difference between 3rd and 4th term = 3 + 4 = 7
difference between 5th and 6th term = 4 + 5 = 9
difference between 6th and 7th term = 5 + 6 = 11
Thus, since 7th term is 35, then;
6th term = 35 - 11 = 24
5th term = 24 - 9 = 15
