The pattern is to add 1.5
1, 1.5
2, 3
3, 4.5
4, 6
5, 7.5
1 + (0.5*1) = 1.5
2 + (0.5*2) = 3
3 + (0.5*3) = 4.5
4 + (0.5*4) = 6
5 + (0.5*5) = 7.5
f(n) = n + (0.5*n)
1, 1.5
2, 3
3, 4.5
4, 6
5, 7.5
1 + (0.5*1) = 1.5
2 + (0.5*2) = 3
3 + (0.5*3) = 4.5
4 + (0.5*4) = 6
5 + (0.5*5) = 7.5
f(n) = n + (0.5*n)
1.5, 3, 4.5, 6, 7.5
We need to find the pattern first.
3 - 1.5 = 1.5
4.5 - 3 = 1.5
6 - 4.5 = 1.5
7.5 - 6 = 1.5
So the pattern is 1.5
We plug it into the formula:
[tex]a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d[/tex]
[tex]a_n = 1.5 + (n-1) 1.5\\a_n = 1.5 + 1.5n - 1.5\\a_n = 1.5 - 1.5 + 1.5n\\a_n =1.5n[/tex]
So, we can find the nth term in the sequence using the formula:
[tex]a_n = 1.5n[/tex]
