What's the fifth term?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
20
OpenStudy (jamesj):
So how did you get that?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
add 3
OpenStudy (jamesj):
exactly. So if the first term
x1 = 8,
then
x2 = 11 = x1 + 3
x3 = x1 + 3 + 3 = x1 + (3-1)*3
x4 = x1 + (4-1)*3
so, what's the expression for the 30th term?
Still Need Help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
t30 = 1 + (30-1)3 = 88
but when i do it manually by adding 3 it comes up as 95
how do i work it out so it comes to 95
OpenStudy (jamesj):
x30 = x1 + (30-1)*3, where x1 = 8
OpenStudy (anonymous):
this series forms an Arithmetic PRogression...
where first term is 8 and common difference is 30
T30 = 8 + (30-1)*3
T30 = 8 + 87
T30 = 95..
is this correct ??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yh thanks man
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x = a+ (n-1)d
x=8+(30-1)3
8+87=95
