Complete Question

Determine the common difference, the fifth term, the nth term, and the 100th term of the arithmetic sequence.

7/6, 5/3, 13/6, 8/3

a) Common difference = 1/2

b) Fifth term = 19/6

c) nth term = 7/6 + (n - 1)1/2

= 7/6 + n/2 - 1/2

d) 100th term = 152/3

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve using the formula for arithmetic sequence

an = a1 + (n - 1)d

a1 = First term

n= nth term

d = common difference

a) Common difference = Second term - first term or Third term - second term

= d = 5/3 - 7/6

d = LCD (Lowest Common Denominator = 15

d = 5 × 6 - 3 × 7/18

d = 30 - 21/15

d = 9/18

d = 1/2

b) Fifth term =

an = a1 + (n - 1)d

a1 = First term = 7/6

n= nth term = 5

d = 1/2

a5 = 7/6 + (5 - 1)1/2

a5 = 7/6 + (4)1/2

a5 = 7/6 + 4/2

a5 = 7/6 + 2

a5 = LCD = 6

= 7× 1 + 2 × 6/6

= 7 + 12/6

= 19/6

c) nth term

an = a1 + (n - 1)d

a1 = First term = 7/6

n= nth term = n

d = 1/2

= 7/6 + (n - 1)1/2

= 7/6 + n/2 - 1/2

d) 100th term

an = a1 + (n - 1)d

a1 = First term = 7/6

n= nth term = 100

d = 1/2

a5 = 7/6 + (100- 1)1/2

a5 = 7/6 + (99)1/2

a5 = 7/6 + 99/2

a5 = 7/6 + 99/2

a5 = LCD = 6

= 7× 1 + 3 × 99/6

= 7 + 297/6

= 304/6

= 152/3

1gm = 1000mg so 0.1gm = 1000mg

first, convert the weight to kg

160lb * 1kg/2.2lb = 72.7kg

next, the dose

72.7kg * 100mg/kg = 7270mg
