Find the 10th term of the sequence described below, where n represents the position of a term in the sequence.

Question

an = 5n + 5

Answer 1

To find the 10th term of the sequence defined by the formula \( a_n = 5n + 5 \), we substitute \( n = 10 \) into the formula.

\[ a_{10} = 5(10) + 5 \]

Calculating this:

\[ a_{10} = 50 + 5 \] \[ a_{10} = 55 \]

Therefore, the 10th term of the sequence is \( \boxed{55} \).
