Math Problem Statement

Find nth term of Tn where Tn=8n+3

Solution

The given formula for the nth term of a sequence is:

Tn=8n+3T_n = 8n + 3

This is a linear expression where nn represents the position of the term in the sequence. To find the nth term for any given nn, simply substitute the value of nn into the formula.

For example:

  • If n=1n = 1: T1=8(1)+3=8+3=11T_1 = 8(1) + 3 = 8 + 3 = 11
  • If n=2n = 2: T2=8(2)+3=16+3=19T_2 = 8(2) + 3 = 16 + 3 = 19
  • If n=3n = 3: T3=8(3)+3=24+3=27T_3 = 8(3) + 3 = 24 + 3 = 27

Thus, for any term TnT_n, the nth term can be calculated using the formula Tn=8n+3T_n = 8n + 3.

  1. What is the 5th term of the sequence using Tn=8n+3T_n = 8n + 3?
  2. How can you derive a formula for a different arithmetic sequence?
  3. Can this sequence be represented graphically? How would the graph look?
  4. What is the sum of the first nn terms of this sequence?
  5. How would you identify whether a sequence is arithmetic?

Tip: In an arithmetic sequence, the common difference between terms is constant.
