This is the plan of a garden drawn on a scale of 1cm

Or, the first term is 3, add 4 (n 1) times

n = 138 4

n = 34.5
34.5 is not a whole number.
Therefore 137 cannot be in the sequence.

Exam questions: Unit B

and its solution


The two diagonal lines on the sloping sides of the
triangle tell you it is an isosceles triangle. The two
marked sides are of equal length and the two angles at
the end of these lines are equal.
a As the two base angles are equal, angle A is 34.
b The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180.
The sum of the two base angles is 34 + 34 = 68.
180 68 = 112 so angle B is 112.

x = 3

x = 3.5
3.53 + 4 3.52 = 6.125
x = 3.3
3.33 + 4 3.32 = 7.623
x = 3.2
3.23 + 4 3.22 = 8.192
x = 3.25
3.253 + 4 3.252 = 7.921875
x = 3.23
3.233 + 4 3.232 = 8.033333
x = 3.24
3.243 + 4 3.242 = 7.978176
To 2 decimal places, either x = 3.23 or x = 3.24.
x = 3.235 3.2353 + 4 3.2352 = 8.005897
So the answer is between 3.235 and 3.24
x = 3.24 (to 2 d.p.)
