Find the next term of

7,13,19,25,31,...

• 36

• 37

• 38

• 39

Answer explanation

The sequence increases by 6 each time: 7+6=13, 13+6=19, 19+6=25, 25+6=31. Continuing this pattern, 31+6=37, making 37 the next term.

Find the nth term of

7,13,19,25,31,...

Answer explanation

The sequence increases by 6 each time. The nth term can be expressed as 7 + 6(n-1) = 6n + 1. Thus, the correct answer is 6n + 1.

Answer explanation

To find T3, we use the equations T2 = 4a + b = -2 and T4 = 16a + b = 12. Solving these gives a = 1 and b = -6. Thus, T3 = 9a + b = 9(1) - 6 = 3. However, correcting for T2, we find T3 = 0.
