EXERCISE 6
Determine the first three terms of each of the following arithmetic
sequences of which:
(a) the 3 rd term of the sequence is 23 and the 26 th term is 230 .
(b) the 5 th term of the sequence is 19 and the 15 th term is 59 .
The 15 th and 3 rd terms of an arithmetic sequence are 100 and 28
respectively. Determine the 100 th term.

To find the first three terms of the sequences, we can use the formula for the
-th term of an arithmetic sequence:
where
is the first term,
is the common difference, and
is the term number.
(a) The 3rd term
gives us the equation:
The 26th term
gives us:
Subtracting (1) from (2) eliminates
:
Now substitute
back into (1):
So the first three terms are
.
(b) The 5th term
:
The 15th term
:
Subtracting (3) from (4):
Substituting
back into (3):
Thus, the first three terms are
.
Now, for the third part with
and
:
From :
From
From
:
Subtracting (5) from (6):
Substituting
into (5):
Finally, for the 100th term:
Thus, the 100th term is
.
