Find the 43rd term of the sequence.
19.5, 19.9, 20.3, 20.7, . . .
The sequence is formed by adding 0.4 to the previous term.
To find the 43rd term, we can start with the first term and continue adding 0.4 until we reach the desired position.
19.5, 19.9, 20.3, 20.7, ...
19.5 + 0.4 = 19.9
19.9 + 0.4 = 20.3
20.3 + 0.4 = 20.7
Continuing this pattern:
20.7 + 0.4 = 21.1
21.1 + 0.4 = 21.5
21.5 + 0.4 = 21.9
After continuing this pattern until the 43rd term, we find that the 43rd term is 21.9.

Apologies for the incorrect information in my previous response. Let's correct it:
The initial term of the sequence is 19.5 and each subsequent term is obtained by adding 0.4 to the previous term.
To find the 43rd term, we can start with the first term and add 0.4 to it repeatedly until we reach the desired position.
Starting with 19.5:
19.5 + 0.4 = 19.9
19.9 + 0.4 = 20.3
20.3 + 0.4 = 20.7
Continuing this pattern:
20.7 + 0.4 = 21.1
21.1 + 0.4 = 21.5
21.5 + 0.4 = 21.9
After continuing this pattern until the 43rd term, we find that the 43rd term is 37.5.

Apologies for the mistake in my previous response. Let's correct it:
The sequence starts with 19.5 and each subsequent term is obtained by adding 0.4.
To find the 43rd term, we can use the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence:
a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)d
where a_n is the nth term, a_1 is the first term, n is the position of the term, and d is the common difference.
In this case, a_1 = 19.5 and d = 0.4. Plugging these values into the formula:
a_43 = 19.5 + (43 - 1)0.4
= 19.5 + 42(0.4)
= 19.5 + 16.8
= 36.3
Therefore, the 43rd term of the sequence is 36.3.
