Math Problem Statement
What is the 125th term in the sequence 6, 10, 14, 18
Solution
The given sequence is: 6, 10, 14, 18, ...
This is an arithmetic sequence where:
- The first term () is 6.
- The common difference () is 4 (since ).
The formula for the -th term () of an arithmetic sequence is:
Substitute the known values into the formula to find the 125th term ():
Thus, the 125th term in the sequence is 502.
Would you like further details, or do you have any questions? Here are 5 related questions to think about:
- What is the 50th term in the same sequence?
- How do you find the sum of the first 125 terms of this arithmetic sequence?
- If the common difference was 5 instead of 4, what would the 125th term be?
- Can you derive the general formula for the sum of an arithmetic sequence?
- What are the first 10 terms of the sequence with the same common difference but a different starting value, say 8?
Tip: In arithmetic sequences, the difference between consecutive terms is always constant!
