Question

The first three terms of a sequence are given. Round to the nearest thousandth (if necessary). 152,149,146

Answer 1

the 30th term is 239

Explanation:

The computation of the 30th term is as follows:

As we know that

a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d

where

a_1 is the first number is the sequence

n = the term

And, d = common difference

Now based on this, the 30th term is

= 152 + (30 - 1) × 3

= 152 + 29 × 3

= 152 + 87

= 239

Hence, the 30th term is 239
