What is a number sequence where 24 is the fifth term in a sequence of 10 numbers?

Answer 1

Oh, what a happy little question! Let's paint a picture with numbers. If 24 is the fifth term in a sequence of 10 numbers, we can see that each term is increasing by the same amount. By dividing 24 by 5, we find that each term is increasing by 4. So, the sequence would be 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44. Happy counting!

Answer 2

To find the common difference in the arithmetic sequence, we can use the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence: (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. Given that 24 is the fifth term in a sequence of 10 numbers, we can set up the equation (24 = a_1 + 4d). We also know that there are 10 terms in the sequence, so the 10th term can be expressed as (a_{10} = a_1 + 9d). With this information, we can set up a system of equations to solve for the first term (a_1) and the common difference (d).
