Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 1RE

The statement is false_.

Explanation of Solution

Definition used:

n terms:

The nth term of the arithmetic sequence is given by an=a1+(n1)d, where an is any term, a1 is the first term and d is the common difference.

Calculation:

It is given that a1=5,d=3 and n=10.

Substitute a1=5,d=3 and n=10 in an=a1+(n1)d and obtain the value of a10 as follows:

a10=a1+(101)(d)=5+(9)3=5+27=3235

Therefore, the statement is false_.
