Find the first, fourth, and tenth terms of the arithmetic sequence described by the given rule. is it a, b,c or d?

The answer is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in 1, 4, and finally 10 in for n. You'll get 5, 5 1/2, and finally 6 1/2.

5

5 1/2

6 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n=1

a1 = 5+(1-1)*(1/6)

a1 = 5

Let n=4

a4 = 5+(4-1)*(1/6)

a4 = 5 +3(1/6)

a4 = 5+1/2 = 5 1/2

Let n=10

a10 = 5+(10-1)*(1/6)

a10 = 5 +9(1/6)

a4 = 5+3/2 = 5 + 1 1/2 = 6 1/2

use the power rule  

( a b ) n = a n b n

to distribute the exponent.

apply the product rule to  

3 x 2 y 3 . ( 3 x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2

apply the product rule to  

3 x 2 . 3 2 ( x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2

raise  

3

to the power of  

2 . 9 ( x 2 ) 2 ( y 3 ) 2 multiply the exponents in   ( x 2 ) 2

.

apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  

( a m ) n = a m n . 9 x 2 ⋅ 2 ( y 3 ) 2

multiply  

2   by   2 . 9 x 4 ( y 3 ) 2

multiply the exponents in  

( y 3 ) 2 .

apply the power rule and multiply exponents,  

( a m ) n = a m n . 9 x 4 y 3

⋅

2

multiply  

3   by   2 . 9 x 4 y 6
