The first term of an arithmetic sequence is -3 and the fifteenth term is 53. What is the common difference of the sequence?



Answer :

anniedavies96
a = -3
nth term (u_n) = rn -3, where r = difference between each term

u_1 = -3
u_15 = 53 = 15r -3
u_15 = 56 = 15r
u_15 = 56 / 15 = r

u_n = (56/15)n - 3
