Solving Arithmetic Progressions to Find Missing Numbers
I’ll follow the format you provided to answer each question. Question 1 Step 1: Understand the problem We need to identify a missing number in a sequence of numbers that is increasing by 2. Step 2: List the given sequence The given sequence is 1, 3, 5, ? Step 3: Identify the pattern The sequence is an arithmetic progression with a common difference of 2. Step 4: Find the missing number Using the formula for an arithmetic progression, we can find the missing number as follows: a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)d where a_n is the nth term, a_1 is the first term, n is the term number, and d is the common difference.
