term of the sequence 40,50,60,

n starts at 1, and n is a positive whole number (1,2,3,...)

======================================================

Explanation:

The sequence is arithmetic with first term 40 and common difference 10. Meaning we add 10 to each term to get the next one.

--------

a1 = 40 = first term

d = 10 = common difference

is the general nth term of this arithmetic sequence

Plug in n = 1 and you should get

Plug in n = 2 and you should get

and so on

15 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

15+2 is 17

15×2 is 30
