Question 1197635: 1st question:
If the sum of the first two terms of an arithmetic sequence equals the sum of the first three terms,find the sum of the first five terms.
2nd question:
the terms a,m,n,b form an arithmetic sequence.Express m and n in terms of a and b.(The terms m and n are arithmetic means of the terms a and b.)
Method I 've tried: d=(b-a)/3
3rd question:
Is y,x+2y,2x+3y....an arithmetic sequence?If it is,find the sum of the first 100 terma.
Method I 've tried:yes,because d=a2-a1=x+2y-y=x+y a3-a2=(2x+3y)-(x+2y)=x+y ,
but i do not know how to count the sum.
4th question:
A bank loan of $8000 is repaid in annual payments of $1000plus 10% interest on the unpaid balance.What is the total amount of interest paid?
5th question:
In preparing a bid for constructing a new building,a contractor determines that the foundation and basement will cost $605000 and the first floor will cost $360000.Each floor above the first will cost $15000 more than the one below it.How much will the building cost if it is to be 18 floors high?
Thank you.

ONE question per post.

Your first three questions are on the same subject, so you could post them together; however, they really should be posted separately.

The other two questions are on completely different topics and MUST be posted separately.

Re-post the questions one at a time, as the posting instructions say....
