Mt. Canlaon in Negros Occidental to have a long weekend vacation. At the peak of the mountain his child drop a piece of paper clip. The distance the paper clip will fall is 18 feet in the first seconds, 50 feet in the next seconds and 82 feet in the third seconds and so on. What is the total distance the object will fall in the next eight seconds? ANSWER: Finding the common difference (d): d = a 3 - a5 Arithmetic sequence: 18 50 82 ? 1 1st 2nd 3rd 8th d = 82 - 50 Formula: 1 a n = a1 + (n- 1) d d = 32 a 8 = 18+ (8- 1) 32 1 a 8 = 18 = (7) 32 d = 32 a 8 = 18 + 224 a 8 = 242 The 8th term is 242 Find the sum: Sn = n (a 1+ an) 2 S8 = 8 (18+242) 2 S 8 = 8 (260) 2 S 8 = 1040 feet - the distance of the Paper clip in the 8th seconds.
