Question

The terms of a sequence increase by a constant amount. If the first term is 7 and the fourth term is 16: list the first six terms of the sequence

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

s = sequence

$s_{1}$ = first term of sequence

$s_{1}$ = 7

$s_{4}$ = 16

Find the difference between the term number and the values.

Terms:

4 - 1 = 3

Values:

16 - 7 = 9

For every 3 terms, you add 9.

Divide, to find the amount you add for 1 terms.

3 / 3 = 1

9 / 3 = 3

For every 1 terms, you add 3.

Answer:

$s_{1}$= 7

$s_{2}$= 10

$s_{3}$= 13

$s_{4}$= 16

$s_{5}$= 19

$s_{6}$= 22
