its for arithmetic sequences.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its a-sub-n=3(n)+16

OpenStudy (ranga):

Yes, but it has to be followed up by a question. What is given is the nth term of an arithmetic sequence. Now what do they want you to find?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which of the numbers below could be terms in the sequence an=3n=16 a- 48 b- 46 c- 61 d- 64

OpenStudy (ranga):

\[\Large a_n = 3n + 16\]Put n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc. so you can get the first few terms of the arithmetic sequence. Put n = 1. a1 = 3(1) + 16 = 19. Put n = 2. a2 = 3(2) + 16 = 22. You can guess the remaining terms by simply adding 3 to the previous term. Third term is: 22+3 = 25 Fourth term is: ? Fifth term is: ? Keep going until you go past all the answer choices.
