Two terms of an arithmetic sequence are
a(9) = 85 and a(30) = 295.
Find a rule for the nth term.
a(30) = a+29d = 295
a(9) = a+8d = 85
---------------------
Subtract and solve for "d":
21d = 210
d = 10
---
Solve for "a":
a+8*d = 85
a = 5
----
Therefore: a(n) = 5+(n-1)10 = 5+10n-10 = -5+10n

−5 + 12n
−5 + 10n
5 + 10n
5 + 12n

Q3) Solve 3 tan x −√3 = 0.
tan(x) = sqrt(3)/3
x = invtan(sqrt(3)/3) = pi/6 or (7/6)pi
------------------------------------------
x = π/6 + nπ
x = π/6 or x = 7π/6
x = π/6 + 2nπ
x = √2 or x = √3
