Question

Find the nth term of the arithmetic sequences a1=5,d=6,n=11

Answer 1

here's the solution,

• n = 11
• a = 5 ( a = first term )
• d = 6 ( d = common difference )

we know,

=》

$nth \: \: term \: = a \: + (n - 1) \times d$

=》

$11th \: \: term = 5 + (11 - 1) \times 6$

=》

$11th \: \: term = 5 + (10 \times 6)$

=》

$11th \: \: term = 5 + 60$

=》

$11th \: \: term = 65$

nth term ( 11th term ) = 65
