Question

Find the 100th term for the following Explicit Formula an = 10 + 5n.

a) 5000
b) 5050
c) 5100
d) 5150

Answer 1

The 100th term for the explicit formula an = 10 + 5n is 510.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula given is an = 10 + 5n, where n represents the term number. To find the 100th term, plug in the value of n = 100 into the formula:

an = 10 + 5(100) = 10 + 500 = 510

Therefore, the 100th term is 510.
