Question

2) Consider the arithmetic sequence 8, 13, 18

What is the difference between its first term and common difference ?

What is its algebraic form​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence is 3, 8, 13, 18, ....78.

'a' = 3, 'd' = 5, last term = 78, 'n' = ?

t

n

=a+(n−1)d

⟹78=3+(n−1)5

⟹78=3+5n−5

⟹78=5n−2

⟹5n=80orn=16.

The 16th term is 78.
