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.66,67,68,69,…an=_____
Sequence Type: We have the sequence: 66,67,68,69,ext... Is the given sequence geometric or arithmetic? Since there is a constant difference between consecutive terms, the given sequence is arithmetic.
Find a1 and d: Determine the values of a1 (the first term) and d (the common difference) of the sequence. The first term, a1=66The common difference, d=67−66=1
Use nth term formula: Use the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence: an=a1+(n−1)dSubstitute a1=66 and d=1 into the formula.an=66+(n−1)×1
Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression:an=66+n−1an=n+65
