Math Mini Task Answers:

Question 1:
What are 29 Arithmetic Means between 30 & 300?

Formula:
An = A1 + d (n-1)

Solution:
300 = 30 + d (31-1)
300 - 30 = 30d
270 ÷ 30 = 30d ÷ 30
9=d

Answer:
{30, 39, 48, 57, 66, 75, 84, 93, 102, 111, 120, 129, 138, 147, 156, 165, 174, 183, 192, 201, 210,
219, 228, 237, 246, 255, 264, 273, 282, 291, 300}

Question 2:
What are 98 Arithmetic Means between 12 and 1,200?

Formula:
An = A1 + d (n-1)

Solution:
1200 = 12 + d (100-1)
1200 = 12 + d (99)
1200 – 12 = 99d
1188 = 99d
Divide both sides by 99
d = 12

Answer:
{12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120, 132, 144, 156, 168, 180, 192, 204, 216, 228, 240, 252,
264, 276, 288, 300, 312, 324, 336, 348, 360, 372, 384, 396, 408, 420, 432, 444, 456, 468, 480,
492, 504, 516, 528, 540, 552, 564, 576, 588, 600, 612, 624, 636, 648, 660, 672, 684, 696, 708,
720, 732, 744, 756, 768, 780, 792, 804, 816, 828, 840, 852, 864, 876, 888, 900, 912, 924, 936,
948, 960, 972, 984, 996, 1008, 1020, 1032, 1044, 1056, 1068. 1080, 1092, 1104, 1116, 1128,
1140, 1152, 1164, 1176, 1188, 1200}

Question 3:
What is the Sum of the first 2,000 counting numbers?

Formula:
Sn= n/2 (A1 +An)

Solution:
S2000= 2000/2 ( 1 + 2000)
S2000= 1000(2001)
S2000= 2,001,000

Answer:
S2000= 2,001,000

Question 4:
What is the sum of the first 10,000 counting numbers?

Formula:
Sn=n/2 (A1 + An)

Solution:
S10,000 =10,000/2 (1 + 10,000)
S10,000 = 5,000 (10,001)
S10,000 = 50,005,000

Answer:
S10,000 = 50,005,000

Question 5:
What is the 8th term of the sequence {-1, 6, -36, 216, ...)?

Formula:
An=A1r^n-1

Solution:
A8=-1(-6) ^8-1
A8=-1(-6) ^7
A8=-1(-279936)
A8=279936

Answer:
A8=279936

Question 6:
What is the 10th term of the sequence {1, -5, 25, -125, ...}?
Formula:
An=A1r^n-1

Solution:
A10 = 1 (-5) ^10-1
A10 = 1 (-5) ^9
A10 = 1 (-1953125)
A10 = -1953125

Answer:
The 10th term of the sequence is -1953125
