Problem

Consider the following empty table for an arithmetic sequence defined as f(n)=12+9(n1) and a geometric sequence defined as g(n)= 64(12)n.
a) Arithmetic
b) Geometric
Unknown environment 'tabular'
Enter the missing values for row a), in order, separated by a comma.
12,21,30,39,48
12,21,30,39,48
Enter the missing values for row b), in order, separated by a comma.
Which is the greater value f(100) or g(100) and why?
f(100); because the arithmetic sequence is increasing while the geometric sequence is decreasing.
g(100); because a geometric sequence is multiplying each value which will eventually exceed the addition of an arithmetic sequence.

Answer

Final Answer: The missing values for row a) are 12,21,30,39,48. The missing values for row b) are 32.0,16.0,8.0,4.0,2.0. The greater value between f(100) and g(100) is f(100).

Steps

Step 1 :Define the arithmetic sequence as f(n)=12+9(n1) and the geometric sequence as g(n)=64(12)n.

Step 2 :Calculate the first 5 terms of the arithmetic sequence by substituting the values of n from 1 to 5 into the formula. The results are 12,21,30,39,48.

Step 3 :Calculate the first 5 terms of the geometric sequence by substituting the values of n from 1 to 5 into the formula. The results are 32.0,16.0,8.0,4.0,2.0.

Step 4 :Calculate the 100th term of both sequences using their respective formulas. The 100th term of the arithmetic sequence is f(100)=903 and the 100th term of the geometric sequence is g(100)=5.048709793414476e29.

Step 5 :Compare the 100th term of both sequences. The greater value is f(100) because 903>5.048709793414476e29.

Step 6 :Final Answer: The missing values for row a) are 12,21,30,39,48. The missing values for row b) are 32.0,16.0,8.0,4.0,2.0. The greater value between f(100) and g(100) is f(100).
