The 17th term of an Arithmetic sequence is 51. If the commons difference is 7, what is the first term ?

The first term is:

Step-by-step explanation:

The arithmetic sequence is defined by

where

is the first term

is the common difference

as

the 17th term of an arithmetic sequence is 51.

i.e.

so

        ∵ , ,

                  ∵

Therefore, the first term is:

b because it contains 40% of the possible results from the random list.  

0,1,2,3 v 4,5,6,7,8,9  

4 integers to 6 integers  

40% success vs 60% fail
