Cannot determine the general term or solve the questions without knowing the sequence’s first term and common difference.

Solución

To solve the problem, we first need to identify the sequence and its general term. However, the specific sequence is not provided in your question.
Let’s assume the sequence is an arithmetic sequence defined by the first term and the common difference . The general term of an arithmetic sequence can be expressed as:
Now, let’s break down the questions step by step:
  1. Determine the general term of this sequence.
    • We need the values of and to find the general term.
  2. What is the value of the term in the sequence?
    • This can be calculated using the general term formula once we have and .
  3. Which term in this sequence is equal to -87?
    • We can set the general term equal to -87 and solve for .
  4. Calculate the value of .
    • The sum of the first terms of an arithmetic sequence is given by:
    • We can use this formula to find .
  5. How many terms in the sequence add up to -1550?
    • We can set and solve for .
  6. What is the largest possible value of for which ?
    • We can set up the inequality and solve for .
To proceed, I need the values of and for the sequence. Please provide these values or the specific sequence so I can continue with the calculations.

To determine the general term of a sequence, you first need to identify if it’s arithmetic, geometric, or another type. If it’s arithmetic, the general term can be expressed as , where is the first term and is the common difference. If the sequence is geometric, it would be .
Once you have the general term, you can easily find by substituting into the expression.
For finding which term equals -87, set your general term equation equal to -87 and solve for .
To calculate , the sum of the first ten terms, you’ll use either for an arithmetic series or the respective formula for a geometric series.
Lastly, to find out how many terms add up to -1550, you’ll need to determine how many times you need to accumulate the common difference to reach that sum, while for the largest such that , you’ll analyze the summation formula to find where the sum transitions out of that limit.
Each of these tasks requires careful manipulation of sub-formulas based on the nature of the sequence established. Happy calculating!
