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.25,50,75,100,…an=_____
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.25,50,75,100,…an=_____
Sequence Type: We have the sequence: 25,50,75,100,…Is the given sequence geometric or arithmetic?25,50,75,100,…Here, there is a common difference between consecutive terms.The given sequence is arithmetic.
Initial Values: Determine the values of a1 and d of the sequence.The first term, a1=25Common difference, d=50−25=25
Arithmetic Formula: We have the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence:an=a1+(n−1)da1=25d=25Write an expression to describe 25, 50, 75, 100, ...an=a1+(n−1)dan=25+(n−1)×25an=25+25n−25an=25n
