Sn=75, a= -7 ,d=4
formulae: Sn= n/2 [2a+(n-1)d]
solution: 75= n/2 [2(-7)+(n-1)4]
150=n(14+4n-4)
150=n(4n+10)
0 =4n^2+10n-150
0 =2n^2+5n-75
0 =(n-5)(2n+15)
n=5 or n = -15/2
∵ since n is positive value
∴ n=5

你的solution有误, 而且你没回答到题目所要的答案。题目要的是state 3 consecutive terms。。
正确做法:
T_(n-2)+T_(n-1)+T_n=75
a+(n-3)d+a+(n-2)d+a+(n-1)d=75
3a+3nd-6d=75
a=-7, d=4
3(-7)+3n(4)-6(4)=75
n=10
所以, the 3 consecutive terms which sum up to 75 is
T_(10-2), T_(10-1), T_10
也就是:Term 8, Term 9, Term 10
Checking:
T_n=a+(n-1)d
T_n=-7+(n-1)(4)
T_n=4n-11
T_8=4(8)-11=21
T_9=4(9)-11=25
T_10=4(10)-11=29
21+25+29=75 |
