question 21

Multiple Choice

Find the nth term and the indicated term of the arithmetic sequence whose initial term, a, and common difference, d, are
given.
- $$\begin{array} { l } \mathrm { a } = 9 ; \mathrm { d } = 4 \\\mathrm { a } _ { \mathrm { n } } = ? ; \mathrm { a } _ { 14 } = ?\end{array}$$

• A) \(a _ { n } = 5 - 4 n ; a _ { 14 } = 61\)
• B) \(a _ { n } = 5 + 4 n ; a _ { 14 } = 61\)
• C) \(a _ { n } = 9 + 4 n ; a _ { 14 } = 61\)
