QuestionThe nth n^{\text {th }} term rule for a sequence is T(n)=n2+4T(n)=n^{2}+4 Work out the 5th 5^{\text {th }} term of this sequence.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. We are given the sequence defined by the term rule T(n)=n2+4 T(n) = n^2 + 4 .
2. We need to find the 5th term of this sequence.

STEP 2

1. Identify the term rule for the sequence.
2. Substitute n=5 n = 5 into the term rule.
3. Calculate the value of the 5th term.

STEP 3

Identify the term rule for the sequence:
The term rule is given as T(n)=n2+4 T(n) = n^2 + 4 .

STEP 4

Substitute n=5 n = 5 into the term rule:
T(5)=52+4 T(5) = 5^2 + 4

STEP 5

Calculate 52 5^2 :
52=25 5^2 = 25

STEP 6

Substitute the value of 52 5^2 into the expression for T(5) T(5) and calculate:
T(5)=25+4 T(5) = 25 + 4 T(5)=29 T(5) = 29
The 5th term of the sequence is:
29 \boxed{29}
