Question
If a sequence has a first term of a_1=10 , and a common difference d=5 , Write the formula that describes this sequence. Use the formula of the arithmetic sequence.
If a sequence has a first term of a_1=10 , and a common difference d=5 , Write the formula that describes this sequence. Use the formula of the arithmetic sequence.
Since we know the values of the first term, a_1=10 , and the common difference, d =5 , substitute these values in the arithmetic formula.
a_n=a_1+(n-1)d
We get,
a_n=10+(n-1)5
=5n+5
