Question

Find the 75th term of the arithmetic sequence -21, -10, 1

Answer 1

Answer:

793

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic sequences are basically linear equations, so as input increase by one output always increases by the same amount. In sequences this is called common difference. To find it, just subtract one term by the term right before it.

So, -10--21=11 and also 1--10=11

so common difference is 11

now we will use the formula Asubn=Asub1+d(n-1)

D is Common difference and n is the term you're solving for. The n-1 is a result of the first term being in the formula. When one is plugged into n-1 you get zero and then multiply d by zero and you get zero and are left with Asub1

Anyways, Asub75=-21+11(75-1)=793
