Determine the Rule: Continuing the Arithmetic Sequence 200,000, 210,000, ...

Question

Complete the sequence:

200,000, 210,000,  200{,}000,\ 210{,}000, \ \ldots

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this sequence problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Identify the difference between the given terms.
  • Step 2: Use this difference to calculate subsequent terms.

Now, let's proceed with these steps:
Step 1: The given terms are 200,000 and 210,000. The difference between these terms is 210,000200,000=10,000 210,000 - 200,000 = 10,000 .

Step 2: Assuming this sequence follows an arithmetic pattern, the common difference is 10,000 10,000 . Therefore, each subsequent number is the previous number plus 10,000 10,000 .

Let's find the next few terms:

  • The term after 210,000 is 210,000+10,000=220,000 210,000 + 10,000 = 220,000 .
  • The subsequent term is 220,000+10,000=230,000 220,000 + 10,000 = 230,000 .
  • The next term is 230,000+10,000=240,000 230,000 + 10,000 = 240,000 .

Therefore, the complete sequence is 200,000,210,000,220,000,230,000,240,000 200,000, 210,000, 220,000, 230,000, 240,000 .

The correct answer choice is: 220,000,230,000,240,000 220,000, 230,000, 240,000 , which matches option 3.

Answer

220,000, 230,000, 240,000 220{,}000,\ 230{,}000, \ 240{,}000
