Find the 5th Term 3 , 7 , 11 , 15

This is an arithmetic sequence since there is a common difference between each term. In this case, adding ${\displaystyle 4}$ to the previous term in the sequence gives the next term. In other words, ${\displaystyle a_n=a_1+d(n-1)}$.

Arithmetic Sequence: ${\displaystyle d=4}$

This is the formula of an arithmetic sequence.

Substitute in the values of ${\displaystyle a_1=3}$ and ${\displaystyle d=4}$.

Subtract ${\displaystyle 4}$ from ${\displaystyle 3}$.

Substitute in the value of ${\displaystyle n}$ to find the ${\displaystyle n}$th term.

Multiply ${\displaystyle 4}$ by ${\displaystyle 5}$.
