What is the sum of first six terms of a sequence whose nth term is 8 - n?
nth term is 8 - n. an = 8 - n, so the sequence is {7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2,...} (this is a decreasing sequence since the successor term is smaller than the nth term). So, the sum of first six terms of the sequence is 27.

Check if the given sequences are quadratic sequences. 7 10 15 22 21 42 The first difference: 3 5 7 1 21. The second difference: 2 2 6 20. Since the second difference is not constant, then the given sequence is not a quadratic sequence. 2 9 18 29 42 57 The first difference: 7, 9, 11, 13, 15. The second difference: 2 2 2 2. Since the second difference is constant, then the given sequence is a quadratic sequence. Therefore, contains a n2 term. Let n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ... Now, let's refer the n2 terms as, 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36. As you see, the terms of the given sequence and n2 terms differ by 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21 which is an arithmetic sequence,say {an} with a common difference d = 4 and the first term a = 1. Thus, the nth term formula for this arithmetic sequence is an = a + (n - 1)d = 1 + 4(n - 1) = 4n - 3. Therefore, we can find any nth term of the given sequence by using the formula, nth term = n2 + 4n - 3 (check, for n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ... and you'll obtain the given sequence) 4 15 32 55 85 119 The first difference: 11, 17, 23, 30, 34. The second difference: 6 6 7 4. Since the second difference is not constant, then the given sequence is not a quadratic sequence. 5 12 27 50 81 120 The first difference: 7, 15, 23, 31, 39. The second difference: 8 8 8 8. Since the second difference is constant, then the given sequence is a quadratic sequence. I tried to refer the square terms of sequences such as n2, 2n2, 3n2, but they didn't work, because when I subtracted their terms from the terms of the original sequence I couldn't find a common difference among the terms of those resulted sequences. But, 4n2 works. Let n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ... Now, let's refer the 4n2 terms as, 4, 16, 36, 64, 100, 144. As you see, the terms of the given sequence and 4n2 terms differ by 1, -4, -9, -14, -19, -24 which is an arithmetic sequence, say {an} with a common difference d = -5 and the first term a = 1. Thus, the nth term formula for this arithmetic sequence is an = a + (n - 1)d = 1 -5(n - 1) = -5n + 6. Therefore, we can find any nth term of the given sequence by using the formula, nth term = 4n2 - 5n + 6 (check, for n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ... and you'll obtain the given sequence)

What is the sum of first six terms of a sequence whose nth term is 4n-2?
The first 6 terms would be when n is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. And since the nth term is 3 - 4n, you would simply substitute the first six numbers for n:* n = 1; 3 - 4(1); 3 - 4; -1 * n = 2; 3 - 4(2); 3 - 8; -5 * n = 3; 3 - 4(3); 3 - 12; -9 * n = 4; 3 - 4(4); 3 - 16; -13 * n = 5; 3 - 4(5); 3 - 20; -17 * n = 6; 3 - 4(6); 3 - 24; -21 -1, -5, -9, -13, -17, -21

WHAT ARE THE FIRST THREE OF AN ARITHMETIC SEQUENCE WHOSE LAST TERM IS IF THE COMMON DIFFERENCE IS -5?
To find the first three terms of an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of -5, we first need the last term. If we denote the last term as ( L ), the terms can be expressed as ( L + 10 ), ( L + 5 ), and ( L ) for the first three terms, since each term is derived by adding the common difference (-5) to the previous term. Thus, the first three terms would be ( L + 10 ), ( L + 5 ), and ( L ).
What is a geometric sequence that has 5 terms and alternating?
A geometric sequence with 5 terms can alternate by having positive and negative terms. For example, one such sequence could be (2, -6, 18, -54, 162). Here, the first term is (2) and the common ratio is (-3), leading to alternating signs while maintaining the geometric property.
What is the sum of the arithmetic sequence from 3 to 90 which are divisible by 5?
To find the sum of the arithmetic sequence from 3 to 90 that is divisible by 5, we first identify the terms: the first term is 5 and the last term is 90. The sequence of terms divisible by 5 is 5, 10, 15, ..., 90. This is an arithmetic sequence where the first term (a = 5), the last term (l = 90), and the common difference (d = 5). The number of terms (n) can be calculated as ((l - a)/d + 1 = (90 - 5)/5 + 1 = 18). The sum (S_n) of the sequence can be calculated using the formula (S_n = n/2 \times (a + l)), resulting in (S_{18} = 18/2 \times (5 + 90) = 9 \times 95 = 855). Thus, the sum is 855.
