Final answer:

The 87th term of the arithmetic sequence 1, 14, 27... is 1119.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the 87th term of an arithmetic sequence, you can use the formula:

an = a1 + (n-1)d

Where:

  • an = the nth term of the sequence
  • a1 = the first term of the sequence
  • n = the position of the term you want to find
  • d = the common difference between consecutive terms

In this case, the first term, a1, is 1 and the common difference, d, is 13 (since 14-1=13). Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

a87 = 1 + (87-1)(13)

= 1 + 86(13)

= 1 + 1118

= 1119

So, the 87th term of the sequence is 1119.
