Arithmetic Sequences - nth Term
Videos, worksheets, solutions, and activities to help Algebra II students learn about what is an arithmetic sequence and how to find the nth term in an arithmetic sequence.
What is an Arithmetic Sequence?
In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between two consecutive terms is always the same.
What is the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence?
an = a1 + (n-1)d, where a1 is the first term and d is the common difference.
