2) Tara is trying to find the nth term of the arithmetic sequence 5,8,11, and 14…. Which expression can Tara use to find the nth term? What is the 15th term of the sequence?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nth term an = a1 + d(n - 1)   where a1 = term 1 and d = common difference.

Here a1 = 5 and d = 8-5 = 3.

So an = 5 + 3(n - 1)

15th term a15

=  5 + 3(15 - 1)

= 5 + 42

= 47.
