a 10th term = 3 + 9 4 = 39
b Either:
the difference between terms is 4 so the expression
will start 4n.
If n = 1 then 4n = 4
subtract 1 to get 3
therefore the expression is 4n 1.
Or:
1st term is 3, add 4 (n 1) times therefore nth term
is 3 + 4(n 1) = 3 + 4n 4 = 4n 1.

Here is an exam question
Michael drives 70 miles to work at an average speed of
v miles per hour.
On the return journey he travels 5 miles per hour faster
and takes 41 hour less.
a i Write down expressions in v for the two journey
times.
[2]
ii Hence form an equation in v and show that it
[3]
simplifies to v 2 + 5v 1400 = 0.
[2]
b Solve the equation to find v.

70(v + 5) 70v = 41v (v + 5)
1400 = v 2 + 5v
v 2 + 5v 1400 = 0
(v 35)(v + 40) = 0
v = 35
(v = 40 is not possible.)
