Answer 1

Answer:

• - 127/7 or - 18 1/7
• - 100/7 or - 14 2/7
• -73/7 or -10 3/7
• -46/7 or - 6 4/7
• -19/7 or - 2 5/7
• 8/7 or 1 1/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

• AP with the first term of -22 and eighth term of 5

To find

• the missing terms

Solution

AP formula:

• aₙ = a₁+(n-1)d

Using the given points we find the common difference:

a₁ = -22 and a₈ = 5

• a₈ = a₁ + 7d
• 5 = -22 + 7d
• 7d = 5 + 22
• 7d = 27
• d = 27/7

Now the missing terms:

• a₂ = -22 + 27/7 = - 127/7 or - 18 1/7
• a₃ = -22 + 2(27/7) = - 100/7 or - 14 2/7
• a₄ = -22 + 3(27/7) = -73/7 or -10 3/7
• a₅ = -22 + 4(27/7) = -46/7 or - 6 4/7
• a₆ = -22 + 5(27/7) = -19/7 or - 2 5/7
• a₇ = -22 + 6(27/7) = 8/7 or 1 1/7
