Question
Find the indicated term of each sequence.If the second term of an arithmetic sequence is 6 and the tenth term is $30,$ find the twenty-fifth term.
Step 1
We can use these two pieces of information to find the first term (a1) and the common difference (d) of the sequence. The formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is given by: \[a_n = a_1 + d(n-1)\] Show more…
