Find the 7th term of the following arithmetic sequence. a1 = -12, d = 2

The 7th term is 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Arithmetic Sequences

The arithmetic sequences are identified because every term n is obtained by adding or subtracting a fixed number to the previous term. That number is called the common difference.

The equation to calculate the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is:

Where

an = nth term

a1 = first term

d   = common difference

n  = number of the term

We are given the first term a1=-12 and the common difference d=2. Let's find the 7th term (n=7):

The 7th term is 0

the answer is; biodiversity resulting from few ancestors

adaptive radiation occurs when a population is subjected to a large natural environment with spatial ecological variations. the parts of the population in the different ecologies begin to adapt to their local environments. due to non-random mating across the large populations, this causes the different populations from the large population to speciate within their local environments. they, therefore, diverge to different species sharing a common ancestor.
