Question

What is the fifth term of the sequence 4/3, 8/3, 4, 16/3 ?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{20}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the consecutive terms in the sequence have a common difference, that is

$\frac{8}{3}$ - $\frac{4}{3}$ = 4 - $\frac{4}{3}$ = $\frac{16}{3}$ - 4 = $\frac{4}{3}$

This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with d = $\frac{4}{3}$

To find the next term in the sequence add d to the previous term, thus

$a_{5}$ = $\frac{16}{3}$ + $\frac{4}{3}$ = $\frac{20}{3}$
