Question

if the number of flowers in flowerbed 1,2,3,4,5 are: 10, 14, 18, 22, 26, find a an expression in terms of n, how many flowers will be in flowerbed n?

Answer 1

is it 4n + 6?

Answer 2

You have an arithmetic sequence, with the first term being 10, and the next term being the previous term plus 4.

so the first flower bed has:
10+4*(0) flowers

the second has
10+4*(1)=14 flowers

the third has
10+4*(2)=18 flowers

and so on.

Answer 3

what you have said iss 4(n-1) + 10 which, when expanded is the same thing as 4n + 6

Answer 4

then you are correct :)
