Question

Write the next three terms of the arithmetic sequence.

First term: 2

Common difference: 11

Answer 1

Explanation:

in an arithmetic sequence any new term is created by adding a defined constant to the previous term.

a1 = 2

the defined constant to be added = common difference = a2 - a1 = 11

so,

a2 = 2 + 11 = 13

a3 = a2 + 11 = a1 + 2×11 = 2 + 22 = 24

a4 = a3 + 11 = a1 + 3×11 = 2 + 33 = 35
