Answer:

136

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an arithmetic sequence

The formula is an = a1 + f × (n-1)

n= the number we are trying to find = 37

a= the number in any given space on the sequence

a1= 460

f= the common difference between the numbers

f= -9 because you subtract 9 from each to get the number

a37= 460-9(37-1)

a37= 460-9(36)

a37= 460- 324

a37= 136

Given :

[tex] \\ [/tex]

  • The first three terms of a sequence are 460, 451, 442

[tex] \\ [/tex]

To Find :

[tex] \\ [/tex]

  • 37th term of sequence = ?

[tex] \\ [/tex]

Solution :

[tex] \\ [/tex]

Clearly these three terms are making an arithmetic sequence, with :

  • First term, a = 460
  • Common difference, d = 451 - 460 = - 9

[tex] \\ [/tex]

Now, we have to find 37th term of sequence = [tex] \tt a_{37}[/tex]

[tex] \\ [/tex]

Now, we know that :

[tex] \large \underline{\boxed{\bf{a_{n} = a + (n-1)d}}}[/tex]

[tex] \\ [/tex]

[tex] \tt : \implies a_{37} = a + (37-1)d[/tex]

[tex] \tt : \implies a_{37} = a + 36d[/tex]

[tex] \\ [/tex]

Now, by substituting values of a and d :

[tex] \tt : \implies a_{37} = 460 + 36 \times (-9)[/tex]

[tex] \tt : \implies a_{37} = 460 - 324[/tex]

[tex] \tt : \implies a_{37} = 136[/tex]

[tex] \\ [/tex]

Hence, value of 37th term of given sequence is 136.
