Question

What is the 100th term of the arithmetic sequence below?
4, 11, 18, 25

Answer 1

a₁₀₀ = 697

Explanation:

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is

`a_(n)` = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = 4 and d = a₂ - a₁ = 11 - 4 = 7 , then

a₁₀₀ = 4 + (99 × 7) = 4 + 693 = 697
