Question

13. The third term in an arithmetic sequence is 10 and the fifth term is 26. If the first term is , which is an equation for the nth term of this sequence?

Answer 1

N=3:
A) an = 8*3+10 = 34
B) an = 8*3 - 14 = 10  OK
C) an = 16*3+10 = 58
D) an = 16*3 - 38 = 10 OK

n=5:
B) an = 8*5-14 = 26 OK
D) an = 16*5 - 38 = 42

So the answer is B
