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.4,5,6,7,…an=_____
Identify Sequence Type: Identify the type of sequence.The sequence is 4,5,6,7,… Each term increases by 1 from the previous term, which indicates that this is an arithmetic sequence.
Find First Term and Difference: Determine the first term (a1) and the common difference (d). The first term a1 is 4. The common difference d can be found by subtracting the first term from the second term: d=5−4=1.
Write nth Term Formula: Write the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence.The nth term an of an arithmetic sequence is given by the formula an=a1+(n−1)d.
Substitute Values: Substitute the values of a1 and d into the formula.an=4+(n−1)×1.
Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression.an=4+n−1.an=n+3.
