Question

The teacher gave this pattern to the class: the first term is 5 and the rule is add 4, subtract 1. Each student says 5. Victor is tenth in line. What number should Victor say?

Answer 1

given
a=5
d=4-1=3
to find t10
tn=a+(n-1)d
t10=5+(10-1)3
t10=5+27
t10=32
victor is tenth in line,therefore he should say the number 32

Answer 2

Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the first number (a)=5

Each student says the number that is d=(4-1)=3 above the previous answer.

As first term is 5, and the first student will say 5

So, Second student say = (5+3)=8

Third student say = (8+3)=11 and so on.....

Victor is in tenth position in line.

So

$T_{n}=a+(n-1)d$

Where n is the position, d is the difference and a is the initial number

$T_{10}=5+(10-1)3=5+(9)3=5+27=32$

So Victor say the number 32
