Question

The sum of the first four terms of an arithmetic sequence is $10$. If the fifth term is $5$, what is the sixth term?

Answer 1

The sixth term of an arithmetic sequence is 6

How to find arithmetic sequence?

The sum of the first four terms of an arithmetic sequence is 10.

The fifth term is 5.

Therefore,

sum of term = n / 2(2a + (n - 1)d)

where

• a = first term
• d = common difference
• n = number of terms

Therefore,

n = 4

10 = 4 / 2 (2a + 3d)

10 = 2(2a + 3d)

10 = 4a + 6d

4a + 6d = 10

a + 4d = 5

4a + 6d = 10

4a + 16d = 20

10d = 10

d = 1

a + 4(1) = 5

a = 1

Therefore,

6th term = a + 5d

6th term = 1 + 5(1)

6th term = 6
