Question

7th term of an arithmetic sequence is 17 and 17th term is 7 .what is its 24th term

Answer 1

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

$n_{7}$=17 and $n_{17}$=7

difference between the terms are 10,

so $n_{7}$+10d=$n_{17}$

    17+10d=7

    10d=7-17

     10d=-10

     d=-1

so for the next term in the sequence, add -1 to the previous one.

17th term is 7, 18th term will be 6, 19th will be 5.......

24th term will be 0
