Final answer:
To determine the sequence terms for 3n + 4, the first four terms are calculated by substituting n=1 through n=4, while the 10th term is found by substituting n=10. The resulting four terms are 7, 10, 13, and 16, and the 10th term is 34.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks for the first four terms and the 10th term of the arithmetic sequence defined by the formula 3n + 4. To find the terms, we simply substitute the term number for n in the formula.
- 1st term (when n=1): 3(1) + 4 = 7
- 2nd term (when n=2): 3(2) + 4 = 10
- 3rd term (when n=3): 3(3) + 4 = 13
- 4th term (when n=4): 3(4) + 4 = 16
For the 10th term (when n=10), we use the same approach:
10th term: 3(10) + 4 = 34.
This provides the sequence: 7, 10, 13, 16, ..., and the 10th term is 34.
