write an equation that describes theb sequence then find the indicated term 6,10,14,18...;47th term

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you notice about those numbers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you add 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would it be x+4=y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is one possibility, though you start at 6 so it's 6 + 4*(n-1) There is another possibility.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

deos that say 6 + 4 (n-1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, because each time you add 4 you have \[n=1 \implies 6 + 4(1-1) = 6 + 4(0) = 6\] \[n=2 \implies 6 + 4(2-1) = 6 + 4(1) = 10\] \[n=3 \implies 6 + 4(3-1) = 6 + 4(2) = 14\] \[n=4 \implies 6 + 4(4-1) = 6 + 4(3) = 18\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank ui have 3 more of those will u help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The other way you can do it is (1+2n)*2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
