Answer:
Anne found the 10th term of the following sequence. Her steps are shown below.
3, 7, 11, 15, …
1. common difference = 4, a1 = 3
2. an = 3 + (n - 1)4
3. an = 3 + 4n - 4
4. an = 4n - 1
5. a10 = 4(10) – 1
6. a10 = 39
Analyze Anne’s work. Is she correct? If not, what was her mistake?
Yes, she is correct.
No, she needed to find the common ratio because it is a geometric sequence.
No, she substituted the wrong values into the rule to find the equation that represented the sequence.
No, she solved for the 10th term incorrectly.
