Answer:

The 50th term is 147

Explanation:

The nth term of an AP can be find as:


a_n=a+(n-1)d

Where, a is the first term, d is the common difference, n is the number of term and
a_n is the nth term.

Now consider the provided AP: 0,3,6,9...

Here, the first term is 0, common difference is 3 and n is 50.

Substitute a = 0, d = 3 and n =50 in above formula.


a_(50)=0+(50-1)3


a_(50)=0+(49)3


a_(50)=147

Hence, the 50th term is 147
