The 21st term of the given arithmetic sequence is 83. The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is applied to find the required value where n = 21.
<h3>What is the nth term of an arithmetic series?</h3>
The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is calculated by the formula
aₙ = a + (n - 1) · d
Here the first term is 'a' and the common difference is 'd'.
<h3>Calculation:</h3>
The given sequence is an arithmetic sequence.
3, 7, 11, 15, 19, ....
So, the first term in the sequence is a = 3 and the common difference between the terms of the given sequence is d = 7 - 3 = 4.
Thus, the required 21st term in the sequence is
a₂₁ = 3 + (21 - 1) × 4
⇒ a₂₁ = 3 + 20 × 4
⇒ a₂₁ = 3 + 80
∴ a₂₁ = 83
So, the 21st term in the given arithmetic sequence is 83.

Pieces of yarn .... 1/8 yard long (each)
a piece of yarn ... n = 3 yards long
remaining ... 1 1/4 yards = 5/4 yards
If you would like to calculate how many 1/8 yard pieces can Sarah cut and still have 1 1/4 yards left, you can do this using the following steps:
n - 1 1/4 = <span>3 - 1 1/4 </span>= 3 - 5/4 = 12/4 - 5/4 = 7/4 = 1 3/4 yards
7/4 / 1/8 = 7/4 * 8/1 = 14 pieces
Result: Sarah can cut 14 1/8 yard pieces and still have 1 1/4 yards left.
20% * 300 = 2 * (10% * 300) = 2*30 = 60
The explicit rule for given sequence is:
Further explanation:
We have to determine first of all if the sequence is arithmetic or geometric.
- If the difference of two consecutive terms is same then the sequence is arithmetic sequence
- If the ratio of two consecutive terms is same then the sequence is geometric sequence
Given sequence is:
12,22,32,42
The common difference is 10 which is same for all consecutive terms. So the sequence is an arithmetic sequence.
The general formula for arithmetic sequence is:
Putting the values of a1 and d
The explicit rule for given sequence is:
