Question

Find an expression for the nth term (tn) in each of the following sequence:

Answer 1

Answer: $t_n = 4n - 2$

===========================================

Work Shown:

The first term is a = 2 and the common difference is d = 4, since we're adding 4 to each term to get the next term.

$t_n = \text{nth term of arithmetic sequence}\\\\t_n = a+d(n-1)\\\\t_n = 2 + 4(n-1)\\\\t_n = 2 + 4n - 4\\\\t_n = 4n - 2$

Which is the answer.

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

If you were to plug in say n = 3, then we get

$t_n = 4n - 2\\\\t_3 = 4(3) - 2\\\\t_3 = 12 - 2\\\\t_3 = 10$

showing that 10 is the third term, which matches with what the original sequence shows. I'll let you check the other values of n to fully confirm the answer.
