1.1 Write down the next term In the given sequence:

3,8,12
1.2 Describe the pattern.
1.3 Write down the general term of the given sequence in the form TN=....
1.4 Wich term in the sequence is equal to 38?

1 answer

1.1 The next term in the sequence is 16.

1.2 The pattern in the sequence is that each term is obtained by increasing the previous term by a specific number. In this case, the pattern can be seen as adding 5 to the previous term to get the next term.

1.3 The general term of the given sequence can be written as TN = 5N - 2, where N represents the term number.

1.4 To find the term in the sequence that is equal to 38, we can set up the equation 5N - 2 = 38 and solve for N. Simplifying the equation, we have 5N = 40, which gives N = 8. Therefore, the 8th term in the sequence is equal to 38.
