to determine the general formula for the arithmetic formula
The general formula for an arithmetic sequence is:
a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d
Where:
- a_n is the nth term of the sequence
- a_1 is the first term of the sequence
- n is the position of the term
- d is the common difference between consecutive terms
By using this formula, you can determine any term in an arithmetic sequence by substituting the values of a_1, n, and d.
