Step-by-step solution

10 steps
  1. Identify the pattern.

    The sequence is 1,3,9,27,…1, 3, 9, 27, \dots. Each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by 3. This is a geometric progression with a common ratio of 3.
    1×3=31 \times 3 = 3
    3×3=93 \times 3 = 9
    9×3=279 \times 3 = 27

  2. Calculate the next three terms.

    The term after 27 is 27×3=8127 \times 3 = 81.
    The term after 81 is 81×3=24381 \times 3 = 243.
    The term after 243 is 243×3=729243 \times 3 = 729.

    The completed sequence is 1,3,9,27,81,243,7291, 3, 9, 27, \boxed{81}, \boxed{243}, \boxed{729}.

  3. Identify the pattern.

    The sequence is 1,3,6,10,…1, 3, 6, 10, \dots. Let's find the differences between consecutive terms:
    3−1=23 - 1 = 2
    6−3=36 - 3 = 3
    10−6=410 - 6 = 4
    The differences are increasing by 1 each time (2,3,4,…2, 3, 4, \dots). This means the next differences will be 5,6,75, 6, 7.

  4. Calculate the next three terms.

    The term after 10 is 10+5=1510 + 5 = 15.
    The term after 15 is 15+6=2115 + 6 = 21.
    The term after 21 is 21+7=2821 + 7 = 28.

    The next three terms are 15,21,28\boxed{15}, \boxed{21}, \boxed{28}.

  5. Identify the series.

    The series is 1+3+5+⋯+391 + 3 + 5 + \dots + 39. This is a sum of consecutive odd numbers.

  6. Determine the number of terms.

    The nn-th odd number is given by the formula 2n−12n - 1. To find the number of terms, we set the last term equal to 2n−12n - 1:

    2n−1=392n - 1 = 39 2n=39+12n = 39 + 1 2n=402n = 40 n=402n = \frac{40}{2} n=20n = 20

    There are 20 terms in the series.

  7. Calculate the sum.

    The sum of the first nn odd numbers is given by the formula n2n^2.
    Since n=20n = 20, the sum is:

    Sum=202\text{Sum} = 20^2 Sum=400\text{Sum} = 400

    The sum is 400\boxed{400}.

  8. Identify the series.

    The series is 1+2+3+4+5+⋯+98+99+1001 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + \dots + 98 + 99 + 100. This is the sum of the first 100 natural numbers.

  9. Apply the formula for the sum of the first nn natural numbers.

    The formula for the sum of the first nn natural numbers is n(n+1)2\frac{n(n+1)}{2}.
    In this case, n=100n = 100.

  10. Calculate the sum.

    Sum=100(100+1)2\text{Sum} = \frac{100(100+1)}{2} Sum=100(101)2\text{Sum} = \frac{100(101)}{2} Sum=101002\text{Sum} = \frac{10100}{2} Sum=5050\text{Sum} = 5050

    The sum is 5050\boxed{5050}.
