Find the 37th term of the sequence 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, . . .
Solution:
An arithmetic progression (AP) is a sequence where the differences between every two consecutive terms are the same.
Given, the sequence is 2, 5, 8, 11, 14,.....
We have to find the 37th term of the sequence.
The given sequence is in arithmetic progression.
The n-th term of an arithmetic sequence is given by
an=a+(n-1)d
Here, first term, a = 2
Common difference, d = 5 - 2 = 3
a37=2+(37-1)×3
= 2 + 36 × 3
a37=110
Therefore, the 37th term is a37=110
Find the 37th term of the sequence 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, . . .
Summary:
The 37th term of the sequence 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, . . .is a37=110
