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.68,136,204,272,…an=_____
Sequence Type: We have: 68,136,204,272,…Is the given sequence geometric or arithmetic? 68,136,204,272,…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=68Common difference, d=136−68=68
