Question
Find the 62nd term of the following arithmetic sequence.17, 22, 27, 32, …312
Solution
The formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is:
a_n = a_1 + (n - 1) * d
where: a_n is the nth term a_1 is the first term d is the common difference
In this sequence, a_1 = 17 and d = 22 - 17 = 5.
So, to find the 62nd term:
a_62 = 17 + (62 - 1) * 5 a_62 = 17 + 61 * 5 a_62 = 17 + 305 a_62 = 322
So, the 62nd term of the sequence is 322.
