Question

Find the first, fourth, and tenth terms of the arithmetic sequence described by the given rule.

is it a,b,c or d?

Answer 1

5

5 1/2

6 1/2

Explanation:

Let n=1

a1 = 5+(1-1)*(1/6)

a1 = 5

Let n=4

a4 = 5+(4-1)*(1/6)

a4 = 5 +3(1/6)

a4 = 5+1/2 = 5 1/2

Let n=10

a10 = 5+(10-1)*(1/6)

a10 = 5 +9(1/6)

a4 = 5+3/2 = 5 + 1 1/2 = 6 1/2
