General formula a arithmetic progression:


\boxed { \boxed {T_n= a_1 + (n-1)d}}


\text {Given that } a_ 1 = 7 \text { and } d = 4,


T_n = 7 + 4(n - 1)


T_n = 7 + 4n - 4


T_n = 3 + 4n

The nth term for this sequence is :


\boxed {\boxed {T_n = 3 + 4n}}

Find the next 4 terms:


\text {When n = 4, }T_4 = 3 + 4(4) = 19


\text {When n = 5, }T_5 = 3 + 4(5) = 23


\text {When n = 6, }T_6 = 3 + 4(6) = 27


\text {When n = 7, }T_7 = 3 + 4(7) = 31

Answer: The next 4 terms are 29, 23, 37 and 31.
