Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Find the 10th term of the sequence defined by a_n = 3n^2 + 2n.
  • Step 1: Identify the formula for the sequence, which is a_n = 3n^2 + 2n.
  • Step 2: Substitute n with 10 in the formula to find the 10th term: a_10 = 3(10^2) + 2(10).
  • Step 3: Calculate 10^2, which is 100.
  • Step 4: Multiply 3 by 100 to get 300.
  • Step 5: Calculate 2 times 10, which is 20.
  • Step 6: Add the results from Step 4 and Step 5: 300 + 20.
  • Step 7: The final result is 320, which is the 10th term of the sequence.
  • Quadratic Sequences – The question tests the understanding of how to evaluate a quadratic function at a specific integer value.
  • Substitution – The question requires substituting a specific value (n=10) into the given formula.
