Answer:
So the formula for the sequence is
Second term =first term + (a+nd)
Third term = second term + (a+nd)
And so on
Where n start with zero
Step-by-step explanation:
3 8 17 30 47
First term = 3
Second term = 8
Third term = 17
Fourth term = 30
Fifth term = 47
Second term - first term = 8-3=5
Third term - second term = 17-8= 9
Fourth term - third term = 30-17=13
Fifth term - fourth term = 47-30=17
So the AP is 5 9 13 17
We find out that the common difference is 9-5 = 4
The formula for nth term of the AP is
= a + nd
So the formula fir the sequence is
Second term =first term + (a+nd)
Third term = second term + (a+nd)
And so on
Where n start with zero
