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.9,10,11,12,…an=_____
Sequence Type: We have the sequence: 9,10,11,12,…Is the given sequence geometric or arithmetic?9,10,11,12,…Here, there is a common difference between consecutive terms.The given sequence is arithmetic.
Determine Values: Determine the values of a1 and d of the sequence.The first term, a1=9Common difference, d=10−9=1
Arithmetic Formula: We have the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence: an=a1+(n−1)da1=9d=1 Write an expression to describe 9,10,11,12,…an=9+(n−1)×1an=9+n−1an=n+8
