Question

give an example of an arithmetic sequence written in explicit form

Answer 1

@iPwnBunnies

Answer 2

well do you know what explicit form is

Answer 3

an = a1 + (n – 1)d

Answer 4

yes a1= starting point
d=common difference
n=target spot
so 2,4,6,8 give for the 25th term

Answer 5

what is a1? d? n?

Answer 6

d = 2, n=25, a1-2

Answer 7

yes can you substitute the numbers in the formula?

Answer 8

\[a _{n}=a1+(n-1)d\]

Answer 9

a25=2+(n-1)2

Answer 10

noooo dont mess with the first n thats what you're solving for substitute n in for the second n in the equation

Answer 11

an=2+(n-1)2??

Answer 12

you're forgetting a term

Answer 13

forgetting n

Answer 14

n? but its a(n)..

Answer 15

yes an=a1+(n-1)d
a1=2 n=25 d=2
so that equation would be
\[a _{n}=2+(25-1)2\]

Answer 16

to solve that subtract 1 from 25 and multiply by 2 then add 2
