The nth term of a arithmetic sequence is given by: a{n} = a{1} + (n - 1)d

→ a{5} = a{1} + (5 - 1) × 3

→ a{5} = 4 + 4 × 3 = 16.

How can you get the common difference in an arithmetic sequence?

You subtract any two adjacent numbers in the sequence. For example, in the sequence (1, 4, 7, 10, ...), you can subtract 4 - 1, or 7 - 4, or 10 - 7; in any case you will get 3, which is the common difference.

What is the common difference of the following sequence of numbers 10 4 -2 -8?

The common difference is 6; each number after the first equals the previous number minus 6.


What is a number sequence where 24 is the fifth term in a sequence of 10 numbers?

Oh, what a happy little question! Let's paint a picture with numbers. If 24 is the fifth term in a sequence of 10 numbers, we can see that each term is increasing by the same amount. By dividing 24 by 5, we find that each term is increasing by 4. So, the sequence would be 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44. Happy counting!
