Finding 𝑛th term formula for linear sequences
Find the 𝑛th term of the following sequence:
5, 9, 13, 17, 21 …
4𝑛 + 1
𝑎𝑛 = 5+ (n-1)4
𝑎𝑛 = 5+ (n-1)4
𝑎𝑛 = 5+ 4n-4
𝑎𝑛 = 4n +1

Sarah is saving money for a vacation. She starts by saving $50 in the first week and then
increases her savings by $10 each week. How much money will she have saved by the 10th
week? a10=50+(10−1)×10
𝑎10=50+9×10
𝑎10=50+90
𝑎10=140
So, by the 10th week, Sarah will have saved $140 for her vacation.
