What will be the expression for the n'th term of an arithmetic sequenceHi,
I would appreciate some help on this problem. How would I find the “nth” term when I have its given value?

What will be the expression for the n'th term of an arithmetic sequence
when the first term is 'u1' and the common difference is 'd'?
Putting aside the particular assignment, let us derive a general equation for the 'n' th term of AP.What will be the expression for the n'th term of an arithmetic sequence
when the first term is 'u1' and the common difference is 'd'?
Correct ...... now what will be the expression for the 'n' th term of the AP?5th term = u1 + 4*d = u1 + (5-1)*d
6th term = u1 + 5*d = u1 + (6-1)*d
Yes, jaegermeister, but the right-hand side above represents the nth term (symbol un), not the index n itself.I don’t understand what you mean. Do you mean like n = u1 + (n – 1)d ?
