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

Answer:

The nth term of the sequence is a_n=4n+12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: a_3=24,\ \ a_5=32

First term: a_1

Formula:

a_n=a_1+(n-1)d

where, d is common difference

a_3=24

a_1+2d=24

a_1+4d=32

Subtract both equation

2d=32-24

2d=8

d=4

Put d=4 into a_1+2d=24

a_1+2(4)=24

a_1=16

Now, we will find nth term of the sequence.

a_n=16+(n-1)4

a_n=16+4n-4

a_n=4n+12

Hence, The nth term of the sequence is a_n=4n+12

How do you find a subtotal
jolli1 [7]

This is the hardest question I've answered all day.

One way to find a sub-total is by *simply* adding everything together, and a example would be below, buy yeah, you just add everything together.

For example:

Cookies (item # 594993) $2.98

Cake (item # 4354533) $4.50

Vans low tops (item # 594939) $60.00

Vans socks (item # 598993) $15.00

And just by adding all this, that how you would find the subtotal. Hope this helps! ;)

<h3>Answer: A) 20+10h</h3>

Work Shown:

It grows 2h inches for 4 weeks, so 2h*4 = 2*4h = 8h is the amount it grows for those 4 weeks.

Then it grows h inches per week, for 2 more weeks, giving h+h = 2h additional inches.

Overall, 8h+2h = 10h is the amount the plant grows.

It starts off at 20 inches so its final height is 20+10h
