Question

Find the term number 30 in the arithemetric sequence Given: an= 6n +4

Answer 1

`a_(30)=184`

Step-by-step explanation

in this case we have a rule that says what the value is, for example for

n=1

`\begin{gathered} a_n=6n+4 \\ a_1=6\cdot1+4 \\ a_1=6+4 \\ a_1=10 \end{gathered}`

then, to know the term number 30, we have to replace

`\begin{gathered} a_n=6n+4 \\ \text{when n=30} \\ a_(30)=6\cdot30+4 \\ a_(30)=180+4 \\ a_(30)=184 \end{gathered}`

so, the term number 30 is

`a_(30)=184`

I hope this helps you
