Question

The nth term of an Arithmetic Sequences. 5 , 2 , -1 , -4 , -7 … is

  1. 2n + 5 
  2. 2n – 5
  3. 8 – 3n 
  4. 3n – 8

hintHint:

We will use the formula of AP to find the nth term of the series.

The correct answer is: 8 – 3n


    STEP BY STEP SOLUTION
    The given AP is 5 , 2 , -1 , -4 , -7
    Common diffrence = a = 5, d = 2 – 5 = -3
    To find the nth term we will use the formula
    an = a + (n – 1) d = 5 + (n – 1) (-3) = 5 – 3n + 3 = 8 – 3n
    The nth term = 8 - 3n

    City tours rents bicycles for $10 an hour with a maximum daily fee of $100. Show the cost for renting bicycle for 1, 3, 11, and 20 hours.

    The cost of renting a bicycle is $ 100 per day. The maximum fair is $ 100 for any number of hours a day. If we have to find a random number of hrs, we can Multiply the number of hrs by the amount of the rent for that particular hour. That gives the total rent for that particular hour.
    Eg: cost of renting bicycle for 1 hour = $10 x 1 = $10
