Question

Find the eighth term of an arithmetic sequence if the first term is 5 and the common difference is 6

Answer 1

47

Explanation:

Formula for finding nth term of an arithemetic sequence is:

tn = t1 + (n-1) d

Where t1 is the first term, n is the specific term, and d is the common difference.

Plug numbers into the formula and solve:

t8 = 5 + (8-1)6

t8 = 47
