Answer:


\huge\boxed{\bf\:Equation: a_(72) = 4 + (72 - 1)3}


\huge\boxed{\bf\:a_(72) = 217}

Explanation:

Let the series be: 4, 7, 10, 13,.....

Given,

  • First term (a) = 4
  • Common difference (d) =
    a_(2) - a_(1) = 7 - 4 = \bf\:3
  • Number of terms (n) = 72

  • 72^(nd) term of the series (
    a_(72)) = ?

We know that,


\bf\:a_(n) = a + (n - 1)d

Equation for the
72^(nd) term of the series,


\boxed{\bf\:a_(72) = 4 + (72 - 1)3}

By using this formula & substituting the values,


a_(72) = 4 + (72 - 1)3\\a_(72) = 4 + (71)3\\a_(72) = 4 + 213\\\boxed{\bf\:a_(72) = 217}

•°• The
72^(nd) term of the series is 217.
