If (a_n=50-3n), which term will be equal to (5)?

Advertisement

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 15th term

Given a_n=50-3n and a_n=5, we get 50-3n=5. Thus, 3n=45 and n=15. Therefore, the 15th term is equal to 5. For the 14th term, the value is 50-3(14)=8, so it is not correct. Exam tip: To find a term number, equate the given term value to a_n and solve for n.
