what was the nth formula again, thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Of a geometric sequence or arithmetic sequence?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I remember it's like n something and then (n-1)...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Arithmetic Sequence: \[a _{n} = a _{1} + (n - 1)d\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean the other equation, the easiest one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Geometric Sequence: \[a _{n} = a _{1} \times r ^{n - 1}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

getting more complicated, it's a two step one, it's like something you wrote in the first one... thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So its for a Arithmetic Sequence OR Geometric Sequence?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

out of interest what's a1 and a2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

? OR ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I never said \[a _{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is a1 the pattern or starting no.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a1 is the first term.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh thank you very much, you solved me q

OpenStudy (anonymous):
