You want a selection of how many terms and common difference.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"100-8=92\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"8%2Bd%28n-1%29=100\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"d%28n-1%29=92\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"92=2%2A46=2%2A2%2A23\"
\n" ); document.write( "You have an equation \"d%28n-1%29=2%2A2%2A23\".
\n" ); document.write( "Ask yourself: Do you want d to be 2, or 4, or 23, or 46 ? Which? After you choose, solve for a value of n that corresponds.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Notice, your question specifies FIVE terms. THAT is what controls what you do. You first are given a way to choose n.
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "\"n-1=%285-1%29=4\".
\n" ); document.write( "You must start with \"n=5\" which gives your factor of 4.
\n" ); document.write( "NOW evaluate for common difference, d.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"d=23\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
