Solution
17)
Given that a1 = 13,d = 4.
an = a1+(n-1)d
a6 = 13+(6-1)4
= 13+(5)4 = 13+20 = 33
therefore a6 = 33.
20) Given an = an-1+6, a1 = -9
a2 = a1+6 = -9+6 = -3
a3 = a2+6 = -3+6 = 3
a4 = a3+6 = 3+6 = 9
a5 = a4+6 = 9+6 = 15
a6 = a5+6 = 15+6 = 21
therefore the arithmetic sequence is -9, -3, 3, 9, 15, 21
