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.16,32,48,64,…an=_____
Sequence Type: We have: 16,32,48,64,…Is the given sequence geometric or arithmetic? 16,32,48,64,…Here, there is a common difference between consecutive terms.The given sequence is arithmetic.
Find a1 and d: Determine the values of a1 and d of the sequence. The first term, a1=16Common difference, d=32−16=16
Expression for Sequence: We have: an=a1+(n−1)da1=16d=16Write an expression to describe 16, 32, 48, 64, ... an=a1+(n−1)dan=16+(n−1)×16an=16+16n−16an=16n
