Your answer is correct!
The expression 4+5n describes the rule for the sequence, where n represents the term number.
To find the 100th term, substitute n=99 into the expression:
4+5(99) = 499
Therefore, the 100th term in the sequence is 499.
Write an expression to describe a rule for the sequence.Then find the 100th term in the sequence. 4,9,14,19,24,29,... (1 point) A.4+5n;504 B.5n-1;499 C.5n;500 D.4n+5;405 My answer is A

I disagree with the bot
My formula would be
term(n) = 5n - 1
term(100) = 5(100) - 1 = 499
In this kind of question, the domain of n is usually the set of whole numbers, i.e n = 1, 2, 3, .... not 0, 1 , 2, 3
you would call term(1) the 1st term, term(2) the 2nd term etc
the bot's terminology would require you to have a zeroth term, i.e. term(0)
btw, it did get the term correct as 499
