Write the first five terms of the arithmetic sequence. $$a_{1}=2, d=\frac{1}{2}$$
Added by Lidia B.
Step 1
To find the second term, we add the common difference $d$ to the first term: $$a_2 = a_1 + d = 2 + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{2}$$ To find the third term, we add the common difference $d$ to the second term: $$a_3 = a_2 + d = \frac{5}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = 3$$ Show more…
