Part 1: Create a scenario for an arithmetic sequence. For example,
Jasmine practices the piano for ten minutes on Monday. Every day she adds her
practice time by five minutes. If she continues this pattern, in the 7th day she will practice for 10 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 10 + 6(5) = 10 + (7 - 1)(5) = 20 + 30 = 40 minutes.
Hence the function for the 7th term in the sequence is a + (7 - 1)d = a + 6d where a is the number of minutes Jasmine practiced the piano on Monday and d is the additional number of minutes added by Jasmine to his practice time evey day.
I think the answer is D. The U.S. passed laws protecting the beaver.
Reduce the expression, if possible, by cancelling the common factors.
So its 6
