QUESTION 1

1.1.1 𝟐𝒂 = 𝟐 𝟑(𝟏) + 𝒃 = 𝟐 𝟏−𝟏+𝒄=𝟎 a

𝒂 = 𝟏 𝒃 = −𝟏 𝒄 = 𝟎 b

∴ 𝑻𝒏 = 𝒏𝟐 − 𝒏 c (3)

1.1.2 𝟏𝟏𝟎 = 𝒏𝟐 − 𝒏  Tn = 110

𝟎 = 𝒏𝟐 − 𝒏 − 𝟏𝟏𝟎  Factors

𝟎 = (𝒏 − 𝟏𝟏)(𝒏 + 𝟏𝟎)  Answer n = 11

𝒏 = 𝟏𝟏 or 𝒏 = −𝟏𝟎

∴ 𝒏 = 𝟏𝟏 (3)

1.2.1 𝟏𝟑𝟏 = 𝟏𝟔 + (𝒏 − 𝟏)(𝟓)  Tn = 131

𝟓𝒏 − 𝟓 + 𝟏𝟔 − 𝟏𝟑𝟏 = 𝟎  Answer n = 24

𝟓𝒏 = 𝟏𝟐𝟎

𝒏 = 𝟐𝟒 (2)

∴ 𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝟐𝟒 𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒎𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒆𝒒𝒖𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆.

1.2.2 16 ; 26; … ; 126  New pattern

𝟏𝟐𝟔 = 𝟏𝟔 + (𝒏 − 𝟏)(𝟏𝟎)  Tn = 126

𝟏𝟎𝒏 − 𝟏𝟎 + 𝟏𝟔 − 𝟏𝟐𝟔 = 𝟎  Answer

𝟏𝟎𝒏 = 𝟏𝟐𝟎

𝒏 = 𝟏𝟐 (3)
 ∴ 𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝟏𝟐 𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒎𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒆𝒒𝒖𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆.

OR 24 Terms ÷ 2 = 12

2.2 𝑻𝟏𝟎 − 𝑻𝟗 = 𝟔 𝒅=𝟔

∴𝒅=𝟔  𝑻𝟏𝟎 = 𝟓𝟕
 Answer
And

𝑺𝟏𝟎 − 𝑺𝟗 = 𝟓𝟕
∴ 𝑻𝟏𝟎 = 𝟓𝟕

∴ 𝑻𝟔 = 𝟓𝟕 − 𝟔 − 𝟔 − 𝟔 − 𝟔 OR 57 – 4(6)
= 𝟑𝟑
