Question

Write the first five terms of the arithmetic sequence whose first term is 5 and whose common difference is 6.

Answer 1

5, 11,17,23,29

Explanation:

To obtain the term in the sequence add the common difference to the previous term, that is

a(1) = 5

a(2) = 5 + 6 = 11

a(3) = 11 + 6 = 17

a(4) = 17 + 6 = 23

a(5) = 23 + 6 = 29
