79.WRITING IN MATH Compare and contrast arithmetic sequences and series.
SOLUTION:
Sample answer: An arithmetic sequence is a list of terms such that any pair of successive terms has a common
difference. An arithmetic series is the sum of the terms of an arithmetic sequence.
80.PROOF Prove the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence.
SOLUTION:
Sample answer:
Let a n = the nth term of the sequence and d = the common difference
a 2 = a 1 + d Definition of the second term of an arithmetic sequence
a 3 = a 2 + d Definition of the third term of an arithmetic sequence
a 3 = (a 1 + d ) + d Substitution
a 3 = a 1 + 2d Associative Property of Addition
a 3 = a 1 + (3 1)d3 1 = 2
a n = a 1 + (n 1)dn = 3
81.PROOF Derive a sum formula that does not include a 1.
SOLUTION:
General sum formula
a n = a 1 + (n 1)dFormulafornth term
a n (n 1)d = a 1Subtract(n 1)d from both sides.
Substitution
Simplify.

SOLUTION:
Thesumoftheinteriorangleofatriangleis180.
Sincethemeasuresoftheanglesofatriangleformanarithmeticsequenceandthesmallestangleis36,theother
twoanglesare36 + dand36 + 2d.
36 + 36 + d + 36 + 2d = 180
d = 24
Therefore,thelargestangleis36 +48 =84.

36 + 36 + d + 36 + 2d = 180
d = 24
Therefore,thelargestangleis36 +48 =84.

93.PHYSICS The distance a spring stretches is related to the mass attached to the spring. This is represented by d =
km, where d is the distance, m is the mass, and k is the spring constant. When two springs with spring constants k 1
and k 2 are attached in a series, the resulting spring constant k is found by the equation
a. If one spring with constant of 12 centimeters per gram is attached in a series with another spring with constant of
8 centimeters per gram, find the resultant spring constant.
b. If a 5-gram object is hung from the series of springs, how far will the springs stretch? Is this answer reasonable
in this context?
SOLUTION:
a. Given k 1 = 12 and k 2 = 8.
Substitute the values and evaluate the value of k.

The answer is reasonable. The object would stretch the first spring 60 cm and would stretch the second spring 40
cm. The object would have to stretch the combined springs less than it would stretch either of the springs
individually.
