Question

What is the 11th term of the sequence: m - 2n, m - n, m, ...?
Options
A m + n
B m - n
C m + 6n
D m + 8n
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

First term a₁ = m - 2n. Common difference d = (m - n) - (m - 2n) = n. So a₁₁ = a₁ + (11-1)d = (m - 2n) + 10n = m + 8n.

Hint

Identify the first term and common difference, then use aₙ = a₁ + (n-1)d.
