How do you write a rule for the nth term of this arithmetic sequence d equals 4 a14 equals 46?

THIS MAY OR MAY NOT BE CORRECT, but, from what I understand, this is how you do it:
it looks like this so far, right?
d=4 , a14=46
so, using this formula---> an=a1 + d(n-1)
plug in your values.
now you have: an = a14 + 4(n-1)
this is what i think is the answer. for help (better help) with arithmetic sequences, go to:

this website will really help! there is even an arithmetic sequence calculator!
Hope I helped!

Rule to finding terms in a arithmetic sequence?
The nth term of an arithmetic sequence = a + [(n - 1) X d]
A sequence of numbers that follows a rule is a what?
It is a sequence of numbers. That is all. The sequence could be arithmetic, geometric, harmonic, exponential or be defined by a rule that does not fit into any of these categories. It could even be random.
How to find the 5th term in an arithmetic sequence using the explicit rule?
Nth number in an arithmetic series equals 'a + nd', where 'a' is the first number, 'n' signifies the Nth number and d is the amount by which each term in the series is incremented. For the 5th term it would be a + 5d
How is a arithmetic sequence found?
You take the difference between the second and first numbers.Then take the difference between the third and second numbers. If that difference is not the same then it is not an arithmetic sequence, otherwise it could be.Take the difference between the fourth and third second numbers. If that difference is not the same then it is not an arithmetic sequence, otherwise it could be.Keep checking until you think the differences are all the same.That being the case it is an arithmetic sequence.If you have a position to value rule that is linear then it is an arithmetic sequence.
What are the types of arithmetic sequence?
There is only one type of arithmetic sequence.The sequence may be defined by a "position-to-value" rule. This would be of the form:U(n) = a + n*dwhere a a constant which equals what the 0th term in the sequence would be,d is also a constant - the common difference between each term in the sequence and the preceding term.and n is a variable that is a counter for the position of the term in the sequence.The same sequence can be defined iteratively by:U(0) = aU(n+1) = U(n) + d for n = 1, 2, 3, ...
What is the Th term of the arithmetic sequence given by the explicit rule?
The answer depends on what the explicit rule is!
What is the difference between an arithmetic series and an arithmetic sequence?
An arithmetic sequence is a list of numbers which follow a rule. A series is the sum of a sequence of numbers.
Which one is a rule for the n th term of an arithmetic sequence with a8 equals 56 and d equals 5?
T(n) = 5n + 16

What is the definition of arithmetic sequence?
An arithmetic sequence is a group or sequence of numbers where, except for the first number, each of the subsequent number is determined by the same rule or set of rules. * * * * * The above answer is incorrect. The rule can only be additive: it cannot be multiplicative or anything else.
Which rule will find the nth term of the arithmetic sequence -58 -65 -72 -86?
It appears that a number of -79 is missing in the sequence and so if you meant -58 -65 -72 -79 -86 then the nth term is -7n-51 which makes 6th term in the sequence -93
What are mathamatical patterns?
Mathematical patterns are lists number that follows a certain rule and have different types. Some of these are: Arithmetic sequence, Fibonacci sequence and Geometric sequence.
How to find the 5th term in an arithmetic sequence using the explicit rule?
Nth number in an arithmetic series equals 'a + nd', where 'a' is the first number, 'n' signifies the Nth number and d is the amount by which each term in the series is incremented. For the 5th term it would be a + 5d

How you can write an account of prime numbers in arithmetic progressions?
There is no simple answer because there is no simple rule for primes: it is certainly NOT an arithmetic progression.
