Math Problem Statement
Solution
The given sequence is:
This is an arithmetic sequence, where the common difference () between consecutive terms is:
The formula for the -th term () of an arithmetic sequence is:
Here, the first term () is 10, and . Substituting these values into the formula:
Simplify the expression:
Final Answer:
Let me know if you would like further clarification or more examples!
Here are some related questions you might find helpful:
- What is the 10th term of this sequence?
- How would the formula change if the common difference was 6 instead of 4?
- Can you derive the sum of the first terms of this sequence?
- How can this formula be verified for any term of the sequence?
- How does the formula for an arithmetic sequence differ from that of a geometric sequence?
Tip: Always verify your formula by plugging in small values of to ensure it matches the given terms of the sequence.
