Which of the following choices is the simple formula for the nth term of the following arithmetic sequence? 7, 3, -1, -5, -9, ... A. 5n + 4 B. -4n + 11 C. 4n + 1 D. -4n + 1 E. 4n + 11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nth term?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

huh ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First you need to find the common difference (d) and the first term (a1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that would be + -4 right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Plug it into this formula to find out a(n) = a1 + (n - 1)d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sn = n(a1 + an)/2 = n[2a1 + (n - 1)d]/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so it would be d.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thats the formula to calculate arithmetic sequence.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Awesome job! You're correct :) Medal please?
