Question
True or False For an arithmetic sequence $\left\{a_n\right\}$ whose first term is $a_1$ and whose common difference is $d$, the $n$th term is determined by the formula $a_n=a_1+n d$.
Step 1
An arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers in which the difference between consecutive terms is constant. This constant difference is called the common difference, denoted by \(d\). Show more…

True or False For an arithmetic sequence $left{a_{n} ight}$ whose first term is $a_{1}$ and whose common difference is $d$, the nth term is determined by the formula $a_{n}=a_{1}+n d .$
True or False The sum $S_{n}$ of the first $n$ terms of an arithmetic sequence $\left\langle a_{n}\right\}$ whose first term is $a_{1}$ can be found using the formula $S_{n}=\frac{n}{2}\left(a_{1}+a_{n}\right).$
