Here , we are provided with a table which shows 5 consecutive terms of an arithmetic sequence . But before solving further , let's recall that ;

The n'th term of a Arithmetic Sequence let's say it be [tex]{\sf T_n}[/tex] is given by ;

  • [tex]{\boxed{\bf T_{n}=T_{1}+(n-1)d}}[/tex]

Where , d is the common difference

Now , here we are given with ;

[tex]{\quad \qquad \sf \blacktriangleright \blacktriangleright \blacktriangleright T_{1}=8 \: and \: T_{5}=-4}[/tex]

We have to find the 2nd , 3rd and 4th term respectively ,

Now , by using the above formula , 5th term can be written as ;

[tex]{: \implies \quad \sf T_{1}+(5-1)d=T_{5}}[/tex]

Putting the values and transposing 1st term to RHS , we have ;

[tex]{: \implies \quad \sf 4d = -4-8}[/tex]

[tex]{: \implies \quad \sf d=-\dfrac{12}{4}}[/tex]

[tex]{: \implies \quad \sf d=-3}[/tex]

Now , as we got the common difference , so we can find out the missing terms now ;

[tex]{: \implies \quad \sf T_{2}= T_{1}+(2-1)d}[/tex]

[tex]{: \implies \quad \sf T_{2}= 8 +d}[/tex]

[tex]{: \implies \quad \sf T_{2}= 8-3}[/tex]

[tex]{: \implies \quad \bf \therefore \: T_{2}= 5}[/tex]

Now

[tex]{: \implies \quad \sf T_{3}= T_{1}+(3-1)d}[/tex]

[tex]{: \implies \quad \sf T_{3}= 8 +2d}[/tex]

[tex]{: \implies \quad \sf T_{3}= 8-6}[/tex]

[tex]{: \implies \quad \bf \therefore \: T_{3}= 2}[/tex]

Also ,

[tex]{: \implies \quad \sf T_{4}= T_{1}+(4-1)d}[/tex]

[tex]{: \implies \quad \sf T_{4}= 8 +3d}[/tex]

[tex]{: \implies \quad \sf T_{4}= 8-9}[/tex]

[tex]{: \implies \quad \bf \therefore \: T_{4}= -1}[/tex]

Now , The given table can be written as ;

[tex]{\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|}\cline{1-6} \bf n & \sf 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 \\ \cline{1-6} \bf T_{n} & \sf 8 & 5 & 2 & -1 & -4 \end{array}}[/tex]

Given the data from the question, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th term of the sequence are:

  • The 2nd term is 5
  • The 3rd term is 2
  • The 4th term is –1

What is an arithmetic sequence?

This is a type of sequence which have common difference between each term. It is represent mathematically as:

Tₙ = a + (n – 1)d

Where

Tₙ is the nth term

a is the first term

n is the number of terms

d is the common difference

How to determine the common difference

  • First term (a) = 8
  • Number of terms (n) = 5
  • 5th term (T₅) = –4
  • Common difference = ?

Tₙ = a + (n – 1)d

T₅ = 8 + (5 – 1)d

–4 = 8 + (4)d

Collect like terms

–4 – 8 = 4d

–12 = 4d

Divide both side by 3

d = –12 / 4

d = –3

How to determine the 2nd term

  • First term (a) = 8
  • Common difference (d) = –3
  • Number of terms (n) = 2
  • 2nd term (T₂) =?

Tₙ = a + (n – 1)d

T₂ = 8 + (2 – 1)(–3)

T₂ = 8 + (1)(–3)

T₂ = 8 – 3

T₂ = 5

How to determine the 3rd term

  • First term (a) = 8
  • Common difference (d) = –3
  • Number of terms (n) = 3
  • 3rd term (T₃) =?

Tₙ = a + (n – 1)d

T₃ = 8 + (3 – 1)(–3)

T₃ = 8 + (2)(–3)

T₃ = 8 – 6

T₃ = 2

How to determine the 4th term

  • First term (a) = 8
  • Common difference (d) = –3
  • Number of terms (n) = 4
  • 4th term (T₄) =?

Tₙ = a + (n – 1)d

T₄ = 8 + (4 – 1)(–3)

T₄ = 8 + (3)(–3)

T₄ = 8 – 9

T₄ = –1
