An = a1 + (n - 1)(d) Where a1 is the first term and d is the common difference. First find d, the common difference. 24, ____, 32 a3 a4 a5 Subtract 32-24 = 8 Subtract a5 - a3 = 2 Divide 8/2 = 4 d = 4 Use d and one of the values they give us to find a1. a3 = 24 24 = a1 + (3 - 1)(4) 24 = a1 + 2(4) 24 = a1 + 8 Subtract 8 from both sides 16 = a1 an = 16 + (n - 1)(4) Can also be written an = 16 + 4n - 4 an = 4n + 12
The 95 thesis was written to speak out against the wrongdoing of the church and the pope. All of the other answers don’t necessarily make sense, because he did not write it to be famous, to be the pope, etc.
