Q. Write an expression to describe the sequence below. Use n to represent the position of a term in the sequence, where n=1 for the first term.66,132,198,264,…an=_____
Sequence Type: We have: 66,132,198,264,…Is the given sequence geometric or arithmetic? 66,132,198,264,…Here, there is a common difference between consecutive terms.The given sequence is arithmetic.
Initial Values:66,132,198,264,…Determine the values of a1 and d of the sequence. The first term, a1=66Common difference, d=132−66=66
Expression Formulation: We have: an=a1+(n−1)da1=66d=66Write an expression to describe 66, 132, 198, 264, ... an=a1+(n−1)dan=66+(n−1)×66an=66+66n−66an=66n
