Identify the first term and the common difference, then write the expression for the general term $a_{n}$ and use it to find the 6 th, 10 th, and 12 th terms of the sequence. $$5.10,5.25,5.40, \dots$$
Added by Julia D.
Step 1
Looking at the sequence, we can see that the first term is 5.10. To find the common difference, we can subtract the first term from the second term: $$5.25 - 5.10 = 0.15$$ So the common difference is 0.15. Show more…
