Question
Find the nth term of the arithmetic sequence $\left\{a_{n}\right\}$ whose first term $a_{1}$ and common difference d are given. What is the 51st term?$$a_{1}=-2 ; \quad d=4$$
Step 1
Step 1: The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is given by the formula $a_{n} = a_{1} + (n-1)d$, where $a_{1}$ is the first term, $d$ is the common difference, and $n$ is the term number. Show more…
