Complete the sequence:
To solve this problem, we need to identify the pattern in the sequence and continue it accordingly.
The given sequence is:
Observe the first two terms: and . Notice that:
This indicates that each term decreases by 10. Applying the same logic to the next term:
Therefore, the sequence is an arithmetic sequence where each term decreases by 10 from the previous one.
To find the next three terms, subtract 10 from the last given term, .
Thus, the completed sequence is .
Comparing with the provided multiple-choice answers, the appropriate choice is:
Complete the following sequence:
\( 1,3.\ldots \)
Look at the first few terms! If each number gets smaller (780 → 770 → 760), it's decreasing. If each gets larger, it's increasing.
Remember: decreasing sequences have negative common differences (-10), while increasing sequences have positive common differences (+5). The sign tells you the direction!
Yes! Use the formula: where d is the common difference. For the 4th term:
Double-check your arithmetic! In arithmetic sequences, the difference between consecutive terms is always the same. If it varies, it might not be arithmetic.
The question asks for the next three terms after 760, so find: 750, 740, 730. Always read carefully to see exactly what's being asked!
