Let's solve each problem step by step.
---
Problem 1: Sequence: 25, 35, 45, 55
Step 1: Identify the pattern.
- The numbers increase by
10 each time.
- 35 - 25 = 10
- 45 - 35 = 10
- 55 - 45 = 10
So, this is an
arithmetic sequence with:
- First term (a) = 25
- Common difference (d) = 10
We can use the formula for the
n-th term of an arithmetic sequence:
> $$
> a_n = a + (n - 1) \times d
> $$
####
a. Tenth number (n = 10):
$$
a_{10} = 25 + (10 - 1) \times 10 = 25 + 9 \times 10 = 25 + 90 = 115
$$
✔ Answer: 115
####
b. Twentieth number (n = 20):
$$
a_{20} = 25 + (20 - 1) \times 10 = 25 + 19 \times 10 = 25 + 190 = 215
$$
✔ Answer: 215
####
c. Hundredth number (n = 100):
$$
a_{100} = 25 + (100 - 1) \times 10 = 25 + 99 \times 10 = 25 + 990 = 1015
$$
✔ Answer: 1015

Problem 2: Sequence: 100, 200, 300, 400
Step 1: Identify the pattern.
- Increases by
100 each time.
- So, common difference (d) = 100
- First term (a) = 100
Use the same formula:
> $$
> a_n = a + (n - 1) \times d
> $$
####
a. Tenth number (n = 10):
$$
a_{10} = 100 + (10 - 1) \times 100 = 100 + 9 \times 100 = 100 + 900 = 1000
$$
✔ Answer: 1000
####
b. Twentieth number (n = 20):
$$
a_{20} = 100 + (20 - 1) \times 100 = 100 + 19 \times 100 = 100 + 1900 = 2000
$$
✔ Answer: 2000
####
c. Hundredth number (n = 100):
$$
a_{100} = 100 + (100 - 1) \times 100 = 100 + 99 \times 100 = 100 + 9900 = 10000
$$
✔ Answer: 10000

Problem 3: Sequence: 60, 80, 100, 120
Step 1: Identify the pattern.
- Increases by
20 each time.
- d = 20
- a = 60
####
a. Tenth number (n = 10):
$$
a_{10} = 60 + (10 - 1) \times 20 = 60 + 9 \times 20 = 60 + 180 = 240
$$
✔ Answer: 240
####
b. Twentieth number (n = 20):
$$
a_{20} = 60 + (20 - 1) \times 20 = 60 + 19 \times 20 = 60 + 380 = 440
$$
✔ Answer: 440
####
c. Hundredth number (n = 100):
$$
a_{100} = 60 + (100 - 1) \times 20 = 60 + 99 \times 20 = 60 + 1980 = 2040
$$
✔ Answer: 2040

Problem 4: Sequence: 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000
Step 1: Identify the pattern.
- Increases by
1000 each time.
- d = 1000
- a = 1000
####
a. Tenth number (n = 10):
$$
a_{10} = 1000 + (10 - 1) \times 1000 = 1000 + 9 \times 1000 = 1000 + 9000 = 10000
$$
✔ Answer: 10000
####
b. Twentieth number (n = 20):
$$
a_{20} = 1000 + (20 - 1) \times 1000 = 1000 + 19 \times 1000 = 1000 + 19000 = 20000
$$
✔ Answer: 20000
####
c. Hundredth number (n = 100):
$$
a_{100} = 1000 + (100 - 1) \times 1000 = 1000 + 99 \times 1000 = 1000 + 99000 = 100000
$$
✔ Answer: 100000

🔍 Explanation Summary:
Each sequence is
arithmetic, meaning it increases by a constant amount (common difference). We used the formula:
> $$
> \text{Term}_n = \text{First term} + (n - 1) \times \text{Common difference}
> $$
This helps us find any term in the sequence without listing all the numbers.
