Question

Find the first four terms for the arithmetic sequence given a1 = 6 and d = 5

Answer 1

6, 11, 16, 21

Explanation:

To obtain the first 4 terms add the common difference 5 to the previous term, that is

a₁ = 6

a₂ = a₁ + 5 = 6 + 5 = 11

a₃ = a₂ + 5 = 11 + 5 = 16

a₄ = a₃ + 5 = 16 + 5 = 21
