Given the Arithmetic sequence A1,A2,A3,A4 28, 33, 38, 43 What is the value of A11?
28,33,38,43
the common difference can be found by subtracting the first term from the second term.....33 - 28 = 5....so the common difference (d) = 5
an = a1 + (n - 1) d
n = the term u want to find = 11
a1 = first term = 28
d = common difference = 5
now we sub
a11 = 28 + (11 - 1) 5
a11 = 28 + 10 * 5
a11 = 28 + 50
a11 = 78
Solutions
We are given the Arithmetic sequence -
A1,A2,A3,A4
28,33,38,43
As we know the common difference can be found by subtracting the first term from the second term.
33 - 28 = 5 ((the common difference (d) = 5))
\(an = a1 + (n - 1) * d\)
The variable n = the term you want to find which is = 11
\(a1 = 1 term = 28\)
d = difference = 5
Subtraction
\(a11 = 28 + (11 - 1) * 5
a11 = 28 + 10 * 5
a11 = 28 + 50
a11 = 78\)
