Question

Find the fifth term in the sequence
that is defined as follows:
an = 3n - 5

Answer 1

The fifth term of the sequence is:
`\mathbf{a_5=10}`

Explanation:

We need to find the fifth term in the sequence that is defined as follows:

`a_n = 3n - 5`

For finding the fifth term we have to put n=5 and solve the sequence

Putting n=5, and solving the sequence

`a_n = 3n - 5\\Put\:n=5\\a_5=3(5)-5\\a_5=15-5\\a_5=10`

So, the fifth term of the sequence is:
`\mathbf{a_5=10}`
