27–34. Working with sequences Several terms of a sequence {aₙ}ₙ₌₁∞ are given.
a. Find the next two terms of the sequence.
{-5, 5, -5, 5, ......}

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Observe the given sequence: \(\{-5, 5, -5, 5, \ldots\}\). Notice the pattern of signs and values alternating between \(-5\) and \(5\).
Identify the rule governing the sequence. Since the terms alternate between \(-5\) and \(5\), the sequence can be described as \(a_n = (-1)^n \times 5\) or \(a_n = (-1)^{n+1} \times 5\), depending on the starting index.
To find the next two terms, determine the position of the last given term. The last term provided is the 4th term, which is \(5\).
Calculate the 5th term by applying the pattern: since the 4th term is \(5\), the 5th term will be \(-5\) (continuing the alternating sign pattern).
Similarly, calculate the 6th term, which will be \(5\), following the established alternating pattern.

Sequences and Terms

A sequence is an ordered list of numbers defined by a specific rule. Each number in the sequence is called a term, denoted as aₙ, where n indicates its position. Understanding how terms relate to each other helps predict future terms.

Pattern Recognition in Sequences

Identifying the pattern or rule governing the sequence is essential. This involves observing how terms change from one to the next, such as alternating signs or repeating values, to determine the next terms accurately.

Alternating Sequences

An alternating sequence is one where the signs of the terms switch between positive and negative in a regular pattern. Recognizing this helps in predicting subsequent terms by applying the sign change rule consistently.

{Use of Tech} A savings plan

James begins a savings plan in which he deposits \(100 at the beginning of each month into an account that earns 9% interest annually, or equivalently, 0.75% per month.

To be clear, on the first day of each month, the bank adds 0.75% of the current balance as interest, and then James deposits \)100.


Let Bₙ be the balance in the account after the nᵗʰ payment, where B₀ = \$0.


a.Write the first five terms of the sequence {Bₙ}.

88–89. Binary numbers

Humans use the ten digits 0 through 9 to form base-10 or decimal numbers, whereas computers calculate and store numbers internally as binary numbers—numbers consisting entirely of 0’s and 1’s. For this exercise, we consider binary numbers that have the form 0.b₁b₂b₃⋯, where each of the digits b₁, b₂, b₃, ⋯ is either 0 or 1. The base-10 representation of the binary number 0.b₁b₂b₃⋯ is the infinite series

b₁ / 2¹ + b₂ / 2² + b₃ / 2³ + ⋯


89. Computers can store only a finite number of digits and therefore numbers with nonterminating digits must be rounded or truncated before they can be used and stored by a computer.


a. Find the base-10 representation of the binary number 0.001̅1.
