Question

In a sequence of numbers, a₁ = 98, a₂ = 99.2, a₃ = 100.4, a₄ = 101.6, and a₅ = 102.8. Based on this information, which equation can be used to find aₙ, the nth term in the sequence?

A. aₙ = 98.0 + 1.2n
B. aₙ = 93.2 + 1.2n
C. aₙ = 94.4 + 1.2n
D. aₙ = 96.8 + 1.2n

Answer 1

The equation that can be used to find the nth term in the sequence is aₙ = 98.0 + 1.2n.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation for the nth term in the sequence, we need to identify the pattern. By examining the given sequence, we can see that each term is obtained by adding 1.2 to the previous term. Therefore, the equation that can be used to find aₙ is option A, aₙ = 98.0 + 1.2n.
