Concept explainers
Find whether the sequence is arithmetic or not. If yes, find the common difference.

Answer to Problem 20E
No, the term is in arithmetic sequence.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
It is given in the question that the term are
Concept Used:
In this, use the concept of subtracting every two consecutive term , if it is same then it is in arithmetic sequence and the subtraction also gives the common difference.
Calculation: Here, the term is
Subtract every two consecutive terms,
After subtracting ,it is seen that it did not have the same constant so, these terms can not be the terms of an arithmetic sequence.
Conclusion:
No, the term is in arithmetic sequence.

- Thumbi Irrigation Scheme in Mzimba district is under threat of flooding. In order to mitigate against the problem, authorities have decided to construct a flood protection bund (Dyke). Figure 1 is a cross section of a 300m long proposed dyke; together with its foundation (key). Survey data for the proposed site of the dyke are presented in Table 1. Table 2 provides swelling and shrinkage factors for the fill material that has been proposed. The dyke dimensions that are given are for a compacted fill. (1) Assume you are in the design office, use both the Simpson Rule and Trapezoidal Rule to compute the total volume of earthworks required. (Assume both the dyke and the key will use the same material). (2) If you are a Contractor, how many days will it take to finish hauling the computed earthworks using 3 tippers of 12m³ each?
