Consider the following arithmetic sequence 2 92 7 a Identify

Consider the following arithmetic sequence.

2, 9/2, 7....

(a) Identify d and a_1.

(b) Write the next three terms.

d	=
a₁	=

a) solution

d=second term of AP-first term of AP

d=(9/2)-2=2.5

a1= first term os sequence=2

b) solution

a4=a1+3*d=2+3*2.5=9.5

a5=a1+4*d=2+4*2.5=12

a6=a1+5*d=2+5*2.5=14.5
