Find the nth term of the arithmetic sequence (an) whose initial term a and common difference d are given below. What is the forty-fifth term?
a₁ = 2; d = 1/4

Respuesta :

Answer:

  a₄₅ = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The n-th term of an arithmetic sequence with first term a₁ and common difference d is given by the formula ...

  aₙ = a₁ +d(n -1)

Setup

You want the 45th term where a₁ = 2 and d = 1/4. Putting these values into the formula gives ...

  a₄₅ = a₁ +d(n -1) = 2 +(1/4)(45 -1)

Solution

Evaluating this expression, we have ...

  a₄₅ = 2 +44/4 = 2 +11

  a₄₅ = 13

The 45th term of the sequence is 13.

The forty-fifth term of the sequence whose initial term a = [tex]2[/tex] and common difference d = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] is [tex]13[/tex]

How to find the nth term of the Arithmetic series?

The nth term of the arithmetic series is find by [tex]Tn = a+(n-1)d[/tex] where Tn is the nth term of the series a is called the initial number and is the common difference between two number. n is the number of term of that arithmetic series.

In the given series initial term a = [tex]2[/tex] and common difference d = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

We have the find the forty-fifth term of the given series.

= [tex]Tn=a+(n-1)d[/tex]

= [tex]Tn = 2+(45-1)\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

= [tex]Tn=2+44\cdot\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

= [tex]Tn = 2+11[/tex]

= [tex]Tn = 13[/tex]

So, the forty-fifth term of the sequence whose initial term a = [tex]2[/tex] and common difference d = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] is [tex]13[/tex]
