1. Find the common difference (d): subtract each term from the previous term:


\begin{gathered} 229-29=200 \\ 429-229=200 \\ 629-429=200 \end{gathered}

Common difference: d=200

2. Find the formula of the sequence:


a_n=a_1+d(n-1)

a1 is the first term

d is the common diffference


\begin{gathered} a_n=29+200(n-1) \\ a_n=29+200n-200 \\ a_n=200n-171 \end{gathered}

3. Find 52nd term

n=52


\begin{gathered} a_(52)=200(52)-171 \\ a_(52)=10400-171 \\ a_(52)=10229 \end{gathered}

Then, the 52nd term is 10,229
