Question

Find the nth term of 25,32,39 and 46
T(n)=a+(n-1)d
T(n)=a+(n-1)7
T(n)=25+(n-1)7
What is the next step?

Answer 1

there isn't a next step

Answer 2

??

Answer 3

the nth term is

\[a_n=25+(n-1)\cdot 7\]

Answer 4

n=1,2,...

Answer 5

what is the (n-1)
"n"

Answer 6

=,='''

Answer 7

well you lost me there with your notation...are you unhappy that is have an n-1 and not n?

Answer 8

i dont understand what n stands for
i mean
a stands for the first term
d stands for th common difference
what does n stand for?

Answer 9

n is the term number

so if n=11

then \[a_{11}\] is the 11th term in the sequence

\[a_{11}=25+(11-1)\cdot 7=25+10\cdot 7=25+70=95\]

Answer 10

how can u find the n?

Answer 11

n can be any positive integer

Answer 12

there really isn't anything to find unless they were to ask something like this

for what value of n is \[a_n=95\]

the answer would be n=11

Answer 13

T(n)=25+(n-1)7
so can the next step be
T(n)=25+(7n-7)
T(n)=25-7+7n

Answer 14

sure...if you want

Answer 15

25+(n-1)7 is a perfectly fine nth term though

Answer 16

so the next would be
T(n)=18+7n
T(n)=7n+18

Answer 17

ok...but i need the most simplified one

Answer 18

then that would be it

Answer 19

7n+18
