In the arithmetic sequence you provided, the first term is \(2\) and the common difference is also \(2\). The terms in the sequence can be represented as follows:
- \(a_1 = 2\) (the first term),
- \(a_2 = 4\) (the second term),
- \(a_3 = 6\) (the third term),
- \(a_4 = 8\) (the fourth term),
- \(a_5 = 10\) (the fifth term),
- \(a_6 = 12\) (the sixth term).
To express the fifth term using subscript notation, we write:
\[
a_5 = 10
\]
