<h3>
Answer: 
</h3>
n starts at 1, and n is a positive whole number (1,2,3,...)
======================================================
Explanation:
The sequence is arithmetic with first term 40 and common difference 10. Meaning we add 10 to each term to get the next one.
--------
a1 = 40 = first term
d = 10 = common difference

is the general nth term of this arithmetic sequence
Plug in n = 1 and you should get 
Plug in n = 2 and you should get 
and so on
Step-by-step explanation:
________________________________
Step 1:

Wright the equation
________________________________
Step 2:

Transfer the power of y ie ¹² up to subtract it
________________________________
Step 3:

by subtracting the powers we get 0
________________________________
Step 4:

so the results comes 1 because anything ⁰=1
