Sagot :

Given:

The formula for nth term of a sequence is:

[tex]\dfrac{5}{6}+\dfrac{1}{2}n[/tex]

To find:

The 12th term in the given sequence.

Solution:

Consider the formula for nth term of a sequence:

[tex]a_n=\dfrac{5}{6}+\dfrac{1}{2}n[/tex]

Putting [tex]n=12[/tex], we get

[tex]a_{12}=\dfrac{5}{6}+\dfrac{1}{2}{12}[/tex]

[tex]a_{12}=\dfrac{5}{6}+6[/tex]

[tex]a_{12}=\dfrac{5+36}{6}[/tex]

[tex]a_{12}=\dfrac{41}{6}[/tex]

Therefore, the 12th in the given sequence is [tex]\dfrac{41}{6}[/tex].
