There are 5 common differences between seventh and twelfth terms, so the CD is 2.5/5 ie 0.5. First term is therefore 15 - 6 x 0.5 = 12.

Which term is the first negative term of the arithmetic progression 242016?
-4 is the first negative term. The progression is 24,20,16,12,8,4,0,-4,...
Is 15 26 37 48 59 an arithmetic sequence?
It is an Arithmetic Progression with a constant difference of 11 and first term 15.
What are the ordinal numbers for the months?
First, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelfth.
What is the difference between arithmetic progression and geometric progression?
In an arithmetic progression the difference between each term (except the first) and the one before is a constant. In a geometric progression, their ratio is a constant. That is, Arithmetic progression U(n) - U(n-1) = d, where d, the common difference, is a constant and n = 2, 3, 4, ... Equivalently, U(n) = U(n-1) + d = U(1) + (n-1)*d Geometric progression U(n) / U(n-1) = r, where r, the common ratio is a non-zero constant and n = 2, 3, 4, ... Equivalently, U(n) = U(n-1)*r = U(1)*r^(n-1).
In an arithmetic progression six times the sixteenth term?
If a is the first term and r the common difference, then the nth term is tn = a * (n-1)r So t16 = a + 15r Then 6*t16 = 6(a + 15r) or 6a + 90r No further simplifiaction is possible.
Which term is the first negative term of the arithmetic progression 242016?
-4 is the first negative term. The progression is 24,20,16,12,8,4,0,-4,...

What is the sum of the first 15 terms of an arithmetic?
For an Arithmetic Progression, Sum = 15[a + 7d].{a = first term and d = common difference} For a Geometric Progression, Sum = a[1-r^15]/(r-1).{r = common ratio }.
Is 15 26 37 48 59 an arithmetic sequence?
It is an Arithmetic Progression with a constant difference of 11 and first term 15.

Who was the first to know about global warming?
It appears to have been Svante Arrhenius (1859-1927) in 1896, a Swedish scientist who developed what is now know as the 'greenhouse gas law':"if the quantity of carbonic acid increases in geometric progression, the augmentation of the temperature will increase nearly in arithmetic progression"
What is the first term of an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of 6 and a fifth term of 35?
35 minus 4 differences, ie 4 x 6 so first term is 11 and progression runs 11,17,23,29,35...
What is geometric and arithmetic?
They are both adjectives. The first relates to geometry and the second to arithmetic.
