Question

Find the 102nd term,given the first term and the common difference

A1=52 and d=12

Answer 1

This is the concept of sequences, we are required to calculate for the 102nd term of the arithmetic sequence;
the nth term of the arithmetic sequence is given by:
nth=an+d(n-1)
where;
an=1st term
d=common difference
n=the nth term
thus, the 102nd term will be:
102nd=52+12(102-1)
=52+12*101
=1,264
The answer is 1,264
