sequences and series - Arithmetic progression , find n



Given arithmetic progresion 20,17,14,



Find smallest value of n so yn<0.



I can find value of n by mind , but do not know how to write the solution.


Answer



Assuming y0=20, your arithmetic progression has closed form




yn=203n



Now let us solve the following inequality.



0>203n


3n>20

n>203=713



The minimum integer value of n that satisfies the condition is

n=7.
