To find the specific value in a given sequence, we must establish 2 key facts:
1). What is the value of the first term?
2). What is the common difference?
By examining the first view terms of the sequence, we can establish both of these facts.
The first term is equal to 5.
The common difference is +2.
Knowing these, we can use a formula to solve for the value of the 50th term.
a(n) = a(1) + d(n - 1)
a(50) = 5 + 2(49)
a(50) = 103
The value of the 50th term is 103.
