A pattern rule for a sequence |
2016-10-28 |
|
Grace pose la question : Here's a Grade 7 question, we need to find the pattern rule:
1 - 1
2 - 3
3 - 6
4 - 10
......
It may involve exponents, but we can't seem to figure it out.
thank you.

Sky pose la question : Hi I'm a Student and i'll try my best to state the problem perfectly.
The number of non-decreasing sequences of size at least 1 and at most N,
such that each element of the sequence lies between L and R, both inclusive.
Eg:- N=1 L=4 R=5
ans= 2. [{4},{5}]
N=3 L=4 R=6
ans= 19. [{4},{5},{6},{4,4},{4,5},{4,6},{5,5},{5,6},{6,6}
{4,4,4},{4,4,5},{4,4,6},{4,5,5},{4,5,6},{4,6,6},{5,5,5},{5,5,6},{5,6,6}

0.151515...=15/99 |
2008-09-08 |
|
Emma pose la question : This week, my Algebra teacher told us about the pattern between infinitely repeating
decimals and their corresponding fractions.
(ex. .2222222...= 2/9, .151515...=15/99, 456456456...=456/999, etc.)
I was just wondering the reason why this pattern occurs.
Is there a certain element that causes this pattern to occur?
Thanks

A sequence of circles and tangents |
2006-01-16 |
|
Paul pose la question : Consider a circle whose center is (2,2) and whose radius is 1, and the
straight line that goes through the origin and that is tangent to this
circle so that the intersection between them is as shown in the attached
picture. With this new point we make a new circle whose radius is half
of the first one, and we calculate the corresponding intersection point
with the same suppositions as in the first case. We repeat the process
to the infinite. Find the distance between the center of the circle in
the infinite and the origin (point (0,0)). Chris Fisher lui répond. |

Arithmetic sequences |

Rachel pose la question : I can't seem to figure out a problem that deals with arithmetic sequencing. This is the question: The 5th term in an arithmetic sequence is 1/2, and the 20th term is 7/8. Find the first three terms of the sequence. I attempted this problem with the formula: An = a + (n-1)d (where the n represents the nth term, a is the first term, and d represents the common difference) I keep getting -9.5 for the first number, and then 3/120 as the common difference between the numbers. But as I have figured it, the sequence is getting greater and greater, and my data does not go with the terms given. Penny Nom lui répond. |
