We can use precalculus formulas for solving some problems,
Let us also know how to do algebra
Find the 11th term of the sequence 4, 8, 12, 16, ….
Solution
Solve the following problem using the precalculus formulas
First term of the sequence, a1 = 4
Difference of two successive terms, d = 8 - 4 = 4
n = 11
The formula to find the nth term of an arithmetic sequence, an = a1 + (n - 1)d
So, the 11th term of the sequence 4, 8, 12, 16, …. = 4 + (11 - 1)4
= 4 + 10 * 4
= 4 + 40
= 44
So, the 11th term of the sequence 4, 8, 12, 16, ….is 44.
