Write an equation for the nth term of the given arithmetic sequence. –9, –20, –31, –42, ... a. an = –11n + 2 c. an = –11n – 20 an = 11n

Question and answer

Write an equation for the nth term of the given arithmetic sequence. –9, –20, –31, –42, ... a. an = –11n + 2 c. an = –11n – 20 an = 11n – 20 d. an = –9n + 1

The equation for the nth term of the arithmetic sequence –9, –20, –31, –42, ... is a(n) = -9 + (n - 1)(-20 + 9) = -9 - 11(n - 1) = -9 - 11n + 11 = -11n + 2

a1 = 115, d = –8, n = 14
a(14) = 115 + (14 - 1)(-8) = 115 + 13(-8) = 115 - 104 = 11

a1 = 105, d = –2, n = 9
a(9) = 105 + (9 - 1)(-2) = 105 - 16 = 89

The indicated term of the arithmetic sequence a1 = 115, d = –11, n = 12 is –6. a12 = 115 + (12-1)*-11; a12 = 115 - 121; a12 = -6
