How to find nth term of a sequence in math?

Salutations!

To find the nth term, you will be needing a formula.

a +(n-1) *d

a stands for the first term (first number in the sequence)

d stands for the difference between two terms. (always remember to subtract from the 2nd term to the 1st term)

and the n is what we are going to find

so in your sequence: 5, 10, 15, 20

5 is a (as it is the first term)

d would be 5 ( 10 -5 =5)

a+(n-1)*d

5+ (n-1) *5

5+5n-5

5n+0

your nth term is 5n+0

Hope this helps!

Have a great day!

Sam wants to buy 8 pencils and 6 pens, which cost a total of $8.50. He realizes he doesn't have enough cash and instead takes on
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
X = pencils, y = pens

8x + 6y = 8.50
4x + 4y = 5.....multiply by -2
----------------
8x + 6y = 8.50
-8x - 8y = -10 (result of multiplying by -2)
-----------------add
-2y = - 1.50
y = -1.50 / -2
y = 0.75 <=== pens cost 0.75

4x + 4y = 5
4x + 4(0.75) = 5
4x + 3 = 5
4x = 5 - 3
4x = 2
x = 2/4
x = 0.50 <== pencils cost 0.50

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the consecutive even numbers be  2n-2,2n,2n+2,2n+4 where n>0 and n is an integer.

2n(2n+2)-(2n-2)(2n+4)

=4n²+4n-(4n²+8n-4n-8)

=4n²+4n-4n²-8n+4n+8

=8
