Answer 1

Value of An if n is 17 = -834

Explanation:

Given:

A100 = 245

d = 13

n = 17

Find:

Value of An if n = 17

Computation:

An = a + (n-1)d

A100 = a + (100-1)13

245 = a + (99)17

245 = a + 1,287

a = 245 - 1,287

a = -1,042

So,

Value of An if n = 17

An = a + (n-1)d

A17 = -1,042 + (17-1)(13)

A17 = -1,042 + (16)(13)

A17 = -1,042 + 208

A17 = -834

Value of An if n is 17 = -834
