Answer:

a₄₄ = 226

Explanation:

There is a common difference d between consecutive terms, that is

d = 16 - 11 = 21 - 16 = 5

This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with n th term


a_(n) = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = 11 and d = 5 , then

a₄₄ = 11 + (43 × 5) = 11 + 215 = 226

answer : 226

difference : 5

‘0th’ term : 6

rule : 5n + 6

if n = 44

220 + 6 = 226
