When a = 30, and d = 100 The rule for the Arithmetic Sequence is
Explanation
The given rule for the arithmetic sequence is -70 + 100n. This means that each term in the sequence is found by subtracting 70 from 100 times the position of the term (n). So, when a = 30 and d = 100, we can plug these values into the rule to find the answer. Plugging in a = 30, we get -70 + 100n = 30. Solving for n, we find that n = 1. Therefore, the answer is -70 + 100(1) = 30.Rate this question:
