What is the general term of the arithmetic progression (15,20,25,30,\ldots)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (a_n=5n+10)

The answer is option A, \(a_n=5n+10\). The first term is 15 and the common difference is \(20-15=5\). The general AP formula is \(a_n=a+(n-1)d\). Substituting gives \(a_n=15+(n-1)5=15+5n-5=5n+10\). Checking \(n=1\) gives 15, \(n=2\) gives 20, and \(n=3\) gives 25, so the formula fits. Option A is correct. Option B, \(15n\), gives 15, 30, 45, so its difference is 15. Option C, \(5n-10\), gives -5 for the first term and is wrong. Option D, \(n+14\), gives 15 first but increases by only 1, not 5. Do not confuse the first term with the coefficient of n. Memory cue: use \(a_n=a+(n-1)d\).
