Question

Need help with knowing how to do this

Answer 1

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

The common difference (d) in an arithmetic sequence is

d = $a_{2}$ - $a_{1}$ = 24 - 2 = 22

To obtain the next term in the sequence add 22 to the previous term

$a_{4}$ = 46 + 22 = 68

$a_{5}$ = 68 + 22 = 90

$a_{6}$ = 90 + 22 = 112

--------------------------------------------------

(b)

The n th term of an arithmetic sequence is

$a_{n}$ = a + (n - 1)d

where a is the first term and d the common difference

here a = 2 and d = 22, hence

$a_{n}$ = 2 + 22(n - 1) = 2 + 22n - 22 = 22n - 20 ← n th term formula

---------------------------------------------------------------------

(c)

Using the n th term formula

$a_{35}$ = (22 × 35) - 20 = 770 - 20 = 750
