Question

consider the arithmetic sequence \\(27, 40, 53, 66, 79, \dots\\)

what rule can be used to find the next term of the sequence?
\\(a_n = a_{n-1} - 79\\)
\\(a_n = a_{n-1} - 13\\)
\\(a_n = a_{n-1} + 13\\)
\\(a_n = a_{n-1} + 79\\)

the next two terms are and

Explanation:

Find the common difference

Using the Arithmetic Sequences knowledge point

$$ d = 40 - 27 = 13 $$

Determine the recursive rule

Using the Recursive Formulas knowledge point

$$ a_n = a_{n-1} + 13 $$

Calculate the next two terms

Using the Arithmetic Sequences knowledge point

$$ LATEXBLOCK0 $$

Answer:

Question 1

  • (A) \(a_n = a_{n-1} - 79\)
  • (B) \(a_n = a_{n-1} - 13\)</mcq-correct>
  • (C) \(a_n = a_{n-1} + 13\) (Correct answer)

<mcq-option>(D) \(a_n = a_{n-1} + 79\)
