This week in Pre Calc 11, we were studying for our midterm. One unit that I was struggling with was the first unit, Sequences and Series, mainly sequences.

For example…

Find t_{45} for the arithmetic series 11, 17, 23, 29, 35….

Our formula is…

t_{n} = t_{1}+(n-1)d

So, we know that d=6 t_{1} = 11 and n=45

t_{45} = 11+(45-1)(6)

 

t_{45} = 11+(44)(6)

 

t_{45} = 11+(264)

So,

t_{45} = 275
