Question

The bids in an online auction are represented by the arithmetic sequence shown below: right on explicit formula to represent the bids as an arithmetic sequence. What is the tenth bid

Answer 1

10th bid is 292

Explanation:

Here, as we can see, we have an arithmetic sequence and we want to calculate its 10th term

From the question, we can see that the first term a is 193

The common difference is 204-193 = 11

The formula for the nth term of a sequence is;

a + (n-1)d

In this case, n = 10

so we have ;

193 + (10-1)11

= 193 + 99 = 292
