Question

The position-to-term rule in a sequence is 'multiply by 4 then add 3'. What is the 5th term?

Answer 1

Fifth term = 23

Explanation:

The position to term is 'multiply by 4 then add 3'.

The formula can be :

`a_n=(4n+3)`

We need to find the 5th term.

Put n = 5 in the above formula.

`a_5=(4* 5+3)\\\\=20+3\\\\=23`

So, the 5th term of the given sequence is 23.
