An arithmetic sequence (a_n) is as follows:

a_1\\a_2=a_1+d\\a_3= a_1+2d\\a_4=a_1+3d,... where a_1 is the first term and d is the constant difference, 

thus, we see that the n'th term of an arithmetic sequence is a_n=a_1+(n-1)d


in our particular case d=5, the third term is 8, so we have:

a_3=8=a_1+2\cdot5\\\\8=a_1+10\\\\a_1=-2


and the general term is a_n=-2+5(n-1),


Answer: first term is -2, n'th term is -2+5(n-1)

NeX [460]

Answer:

The amount in the account in the  beginning of the 6th year is $6375 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

Simple\ interest = \frac{Principle\times Rate\ times Time}{100}

As given

You invest $5000 in an account at 5.5% per year simple interest.

Principle = $ 5000

Rate = 5.5 %

Time = 5 years

(As calculate amount in the account for beginning of 6th year.)

Putting all the values in the formula

Simple\ interest = \frac{5000\times 5.5\times 5}{100}

Simple\ interest = 50\times 5.5\times 5

Simple interest = $ 1375

Amount =  Principle + Simple interest

Putting values in the above formula

Amount =  $5000 + $1375

Amount = $ 6375

Therefore the amount in the account in the  beginning of the 6th year is $ 6375 .
