arithmetic sequence

Question

find a formula for the nth term of the arithmetic sequence:

first term: 1.7

common difference: 0.5

Answer 1

Hello, Grace! I am more than happy to help you with this problem. In general, the arithmetic sequence formula is a_n = a₁ + (n - 1)d, where n is the term number, a₁ is the first term of the sequence, and d is the common difference. Therefore, the formula for the nth term that you provided is a_n = 1.7 + (n - 1)0.5.
