Question

In arithmetic sequence the first term is 5 and the common difference is 4. Determine the 6th term of sequence

Answer 1

The 6th term of the sequence is 25

Explanation:

first term = a = 5

common difference = d = 4

The nth term of a sequence is

T_n = a + (n - 1)d

Therefore, the 6th term of the sequence is

T_6 = a + (6 - 1)d

T_6 = a + 5d

T_6 = 5 + 5(4)

T_6 = 5 + 20

T_6 = 25
