Given -

A sequence 7, 14, 21,...

To find -

the sixteenth term of the sequence.ie., a60.

Concept -

The number a is the first term, and d is the common difference of the sequence. The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is given by

[tex]\sf{a_n = a + (n - 1)d}[/tex]

Solution -

A.T.Q,

a = 7

n = 60

d = 14 - 7 = 7

Putting the values,

[tex]\rightarrow\sf{a_{60} = 7 + (60- 1)7}[/tex]

[tex]\rightarrow\sf{a_{60} = 7 + 59\times7}[/tex]

[tex]\rightarrow\sf{a_{60} = 7 + 413}[/tex]

[tex]\rightarrow\boxed{\green{\bf{a_{60} = 420}}}[/tex]

Answer:

  • 60th term of sequence is 420

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we have given a sequence or you can say it arithmetic progression which is 7 , 14 , 21,.. and we have asked to find it's 60th term .

From sequence 7 , 14 , 21.... :

  • a = first term = 7

  • d = common difference = 14 - 7 = 7

As we know that :

[tex] \rightarrow \: \blue{ \boxed{a_n = a + (n - 1)d}} \leftarrow[/tex]

Where ,

  • a refers to first term

  • n refers to number of term

  • d refers to common difference

Now , substituting values :

[tex] \longmapsto \: a_{60} = 7 + (60 - 1)7[/tex]

Now , calculating :

[tex] \longmapsto \: a_{60} =7 + (59)7[/tex]

[tex] \longmapsto \: a_{60} =7 + 413[/tex]

[tex] \longmapsto \: \pink{ \boxed{ a_{60} =420}}[/tex]

  • Therefore , value of 60th term of the given sequence is 420 .
