Concept explainers
Whether ( n +1)th term of an arithmetic sequence can be found if the nth term and thecommon difference is known.
Answer to Problem 81E
Yes, the statement is true.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The nth term and thecommon difference of an arithmetic sequence.
An arithmetic sequence of n terms, has the form
That is
Common difference can be defined by d .
nth term of the arithmetic sequence has the form
Where
Now, for ( n +1)th term will be the next term of nth term. Which can be obtained by adding the common difference with the nth term.
