Which term of the sequence 20 19 1 4


Asked by admin @ in Math viewed by 288 People


Which term of the progression 20 , 19 1/4 , 18 1/2 , 17 3/4 is the first negative term ?

Answered by admin @





It's a decreasing sequence. Let's find the number of term which will be zero. Then the next integer will give negative term.

answer and equating an to zero.

a = 20 , d = -3/4

an = a+(n-1)d

= 20+(n-1)(-3/4)

= 20+(-3n+3)/4

= (80-3n+3)/4

83 - 3n = 0

3n - 83 = 0

n = 83/3

n = 27.66

The next integer is 28

So 28th term will be the first -ve term....
