Math Problem Statement
The term at position n in a sequence is n + 2. Work out the 5th term in this sequence (Hint: the 5th term is when n = 5).
Solution
The problem displayed in the image asks for the 5th term of a sequence, where the term at position is given by the formula:
To find the 5th term, we substitute into the formula:
Thus, the 5th term in the sequence is 7.

Here are five related questions to explore further:
- What is the 10th term of the sequence ?
- How would the sequence change if the formula were instead?
- Can you write a general formula for the difference between consecutive terms in this sequence?
- What are the first three terms of the sequence?
- How would you graph the first five terms of this sequence?
Tip: When given a formula for a sequence, always substitute the specific value of directly into the formula to find the term at that position.
