Given the functions f(n) = 25 and g(n) = 3(n − 1), combine them to create an arithmetic sequence, an, and solve for the 12th term. An = 25 − 3(n − 1); a12 = −11 an = 25 − 3(n − 1); a12 = −8 an = 25 3(n − 1); a12 = 58 an = 25 3(n − 1); a12 = 61.

Arithmetic sequence is done by adding or subtracting the difference. The 12th term of the arithmetic sequence will be 58.

The arithmetic sequence is the series of numbers where every two consecutive terms have the same difference between them.

We know that the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is given as,

[tex]a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d[/tex]

Also, we are given two functions adding the two functions we get,

[tex]f(x) + g(x)\\\\ = 25 + 3(n-1)[/tex]

comparing the sum we get with the arithmetic sequence formula for nth term, we will understand that,

[tex]a_1 + d(n-1)\\25+3(n-1)[/tex]

therefore,

a₁ = 25

and d = 3

that means the first term of the sequence is 25 while the difference between the two terms is 3.

Now, substituting the values in the formula we will get that the 12th terms of the sequence can be written as,

[tex]a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d\\\\a_{12} = 25 + (12-1)3\\\\a_{12} = 25 + 33\\\\a_{12} = 58[/tex]

Hence, the 12th term of the arithmetic sequence will be 58.
