Question

What is the 10th term in the pattern n + 2?
(a) 10
(b) 8
(C) 12
(d) 202.

Answer 1

The 10th term in the pattern 'n + 2' is calculated by adding 2 to the first term nine times, resulting in 'n + 18'.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks what the 10th term is in the pattern n + 2. Since the pattern indicates that each term is obtained by adding 2 to the previous term, we start with n as the first term. To obtain the 10th term, we add 2 to the first term nine times (since we already have one n to begin with, we need to add nine more occasions of '2' to it to reach the 10th term).

• The first term is n.
• The second term is n + 2.
• The third term is n + 4.
• Continuing in this fashion, the calculation process will lead to the 10th term being n + 18.

Therefore, the 10th term in the pattern is n + 18.
