Answer:

B. 11

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for an arithmetic sequence is

an = a1+d(n-1)

a1 =1.2   (it is the first term)

We can find the common difference by taking the second term and subtracting the first term

1.4-1.2 =.2

d=.2

n = the term number we are looking for

an = 1.2 + .2(n-1)

We are looking for the 50th term so n=50

a50 = 1.2 +.2(50-1)

      = 1.2 +.2(49)

      = 1.2+9.8

     =11
