Example Question #21 : Arithmetic Sequences

An arithmetic sequence begins as follows:

$\frac{2}{5} , \frac{7}{10}, 1, 1 \frac{3}{10}, ...$

Give the thirty-third term of this sequence.

Possible Answers:

$10\frac{1}{10}$

$9\frac{4}{5}$

$10 \frac{1}{5}$

$9\frac{9}{10}$

The correct answer is not given among the other four responses.

Correct answer:

The correct answer is not given among the other four responses.

Explanation:

The th term of an arithmetic sequence with initial term $a_{1}$ and common difference is defined by the equation

$a_{n} = a_{1}+ (n-1)d$ .

The initial term in the given sequence is

$a_{1} = \frac{2}{5}$ ;

the common difference is

$d = \frac{7}{10} - \frac{2}{5} = \frac{7}{10} - \frac{4}{10} = \frac{3}{10}$ .

We are seeking term n = 33 .

Therefore,

$a_{33} = \frac{2}{5}+ (33-1) \frac{3}{10}$

$= \frac{2}{5}+ (32) \frac{3}{10}$

$= \frac{2}{5}+ \frac{96}{10}$

$= \frac{2}{5}+ \frac{48}{5}$

$= \frac{50}{5} = 10$ ,

which is not among the choices.

Example Question #1611 : Ssat Upper Level Quantitative (Math)

What is the value of x in the sequence below?

99, 33, 11, x

Possible Answers:

$3\frac{2}{3}$

$\frac{11}{2}$

$11\frac{1}{3}$

Correct answer:

$3\frac{2}{3}$

Explanation:

In this sequence, each subsequent number is equal to one third of the preceding number.

One third of 11 is equal to:

$\frac{11}{3}=3\frac{2}{3}$

Therefore, the correct answer is: $3\frac{2}{3}$
