Question

Find a formula for the nth term in this arithmetic sequence. a1=0, a2=0.5, a3=1, a4=1.5

Answer 1

Answer:

nth term is;

0.5n-0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see, the first term is 0

The common difference is 0.5-0= 1-0.5 = 1.5-1 = 0.5

Formula for nth term of an arithmetic sequence is;

a + (n-1)d

So we have

0 + (n-1) 0.5

= 0.5n-0.5
