Vocaloid:

You're on the right track you just need to replace d with your common difference (10)

Vocaloid:

And replace a1 with the first term

zarkam21:

Vocaloid:

So you have this written down: an = a_n-1 + (n-1)d You just need to replace a1 with the first term and d with the common difference

Vocaloid:

Sorry should be an = a1 + (n-1)d

zarkam21:

Vocaloid:

d is 10, it doesn't change

Vocaloid:

a1 = 2

Vocaloid:

Everything else in the formula stays the same

Vocaloid:

So an = a1 + (n-1)d Becomes an = 2 + (n-1)10

zarkam21:

Like this

Vocaloid:

First off you only need one formula

Vocaloid:

a1 is fixed, you don't change it to a2 or a3 ^^

Vocaloid:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Vocaloid So an = a1 + (n-1)d Becomes an = 2 + (n-1)10 \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) It's just this

zarkam21:

Vocaloid:

You only need the first line you wrote ^^

Vocaloid:

There's only one explicit formula for every series

zarkam21:

Ohhhh

Vocaloid:

Also you need to add 2 + to the beginning

Vocaloid:

an = 2 + (n-1)10

zarkam21:

Okay si let me try the next one by my own

zarkam21:

zarkam21:

Ugh please tell me i did this right 😟

Vocaloid:

Good, just make sure to include parentheses around (-4) just to be extra clear ^^

Vocaloid:

Otherwise it might look like subtraction
