Question

Match each variable with what it represents in a sequence formula. 1. r the value of the first term 2. d the value of the nth term 3. n common ratio 4. an common difference 5. a1 term number

Answer 1

Answer:

r is the common ratio (in geometric sequence)

d is the common difference (in arithmetic sequence)

n is the term number

a1 is the value of the first term

an is the value of the nth term

Step-by-step explanation:

arithmetic sequence formula:

an=a1+d(n-1)

geometric sequence formula:

an=a1•(r)^(n-1)
