In a figure pattern the first figure has (5) dots and each next figure has (3) more dots. How many dots are in the (10)th figure?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 32

The numbers of dots form an arithmetic progression: 5, 8, 11, \(\ldots\). Here, the first term is \(a=5\), the common difference is \(d=3\), and \(n=10\). Therefore, \(a_{10}=a+(n-1)d=5+(10-1)\times3=32\). Hence, 32 is correct. Adding \(10\times3\) to 5 would incorrectly give 35, because the increase occurs only 9 times after the first figure. Exam tip: use \(n-1\), not \(n\), in the AP nth-term formula.
