Question

Find the 2nd term of an arithmetic sequence if t1 = 0 and t5 = 16?

8

6

4

2

Answer 1

The fifth term is t1 + 4d, where d is the common difference. Therefore we can write:
0 + 4d = 16
When you have solved for the value of d, just add zero and the value of d to find the second term.

Answer 2

Answer: Third option is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

`t_1=0\\\\t_5=16`

Since they are in A.P., so it becomes,

`t_5=0+(5-1)d\\\\t_5=4d\\\\16=4d\\\\d=(16)/(4)\\\\d=4`

So, second term of an A.P. would be

`t_2=0+(2-1)* 4\\\\t_2=0+4\\\\t_2=4`

Hence, Third option is correct.
