Write the explicit rule of the arithmetic sequence that has a first term of 3 and a fourth term of 18
1 answer:
Answer:
= 5n - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Given a₄ = 18 , then
a₁ + 3d = 18 , that is
3 + 3d = 18 ( subtract 3 from both sides )
3d = 15 (divide both sides by 3 )
d = 5
Then
= 3 + 5(n - 1) = 3 + 5n - 5 = 5n - 2 ← explicit rule

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Pattern 1 consists of
small squares (here n = 1 and
).
Pattern 2 consists of
small squares (here n = 2 and
).
Pattern 3 consists of
small squares (here n = 3 and
).
Thus, pattern n consists of
small squares.
