Given -

A sequence 7, 14, 21,...

To find -

the sixteenth term of the sequence.ie., a60.

Concept -

The number a is the first term, and d is the common difference of the sequence. The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is given by


\sf{a_n = a + (n - 1)d}

Solution -

A.T.Q,

a = 7

n = 60

d = 14 - 7 = 7

Putting the values,


\rightarrow\sf{a_(60) = 7 + (60- 1)7}


\rightarrow\sf{a_(60) = 7 + 59*7}


\rightarrow\sf{a_(60) = 7 + 413}


\rightarrow\boxed{\green{\bf{a_(60) = 420}}}

Answer:

  • 60th term of sequence is 420

Explanation:

In this question we have given a sequence or you can say it arithmetic progression which is 7 , 14 , 21,.. and we have asked to find it's 60th term .

From sequence 7 , 14 , 21.... :

  • a = first term = 7

  • d = common difference = 14 - 7 = 7

As we know that :


\rightarrow \: \blue{ \boxed{a_n = a + (n - 1)d}} \leftarrow

Where ,

  • a refers to first term

  • n refers to number of term

  • d refers to common difference

Now , substituting values :


\longmapsto \: a_(60) = 7 + (60 - 1)7

Now , calculating :


\longmapsto \: a_(60) =7 + (59)7


\longmapsto \: a_(60) =7 + 413


\longmapsto \: \pink{ \boxed{ a_(60) =420}}

  • Therefore , value of 60th term of the given sequence is 420 .
