What is the ninth term in the following sequence?
11, 17, 23, 29
Is it 59?
11 17 23 29 35 41 47 53 59
An = 11 +(n-1)6
A9 = 11 + 8*6
A9 = 11 + 48
A9 = 59
Damon is correct
Oh no, you need to put on your math hat for this one! Let's see, we can find the pattern in the sequence. If we add 6 to each number, we get 17, 23, 29, 35. Ah, now we see it! The sequence is actually increasing by 6 each time. So the ninth term would be 29 + (6 * 6), which is 65. It seems we hit a detour with that 59!
To find the ninth term in the sequence, we need to determine the pattern. From the given sequence, we can observe that each term is obtained by adding 6 to the previous term.
Starting with the first term, 11, we can create the sequence:
11, 11 + 6 = 17, 17 + 6 = 23, 23 + 6 = 29, ...
To find the ninth term, we can use the formula:
nth term = first term + (n - 1) * common difference
Plugging in the values, we have:
9th term = 11 + (9 - 1) * 6
= 11 + 8 * 6
= 11 + 48
= 59
So, the ninth term in the sequence is indeed 59.
To find the ninth term in the sequence, we need to determine the pattern in the given sequence. We can see that each term in the sequence is obtained by adding 6 to the previous term.
Starting with the first term, 11, we can find each subsequent term by adding 6. Thus, the sequence is:
11, 11 + 6 = 17, 17 + 6 = 23, 23 + 6 = 29, ...
To find the ninth term, we can continue this pattern:
29 + 6 = 35, 35 + 6 = 41, 41 + 6 = 47, 47 + 6 = 53, 53 + 6 = 59
Therefore, the ninth term in the sequence is 59.
