Question

Find the 88th term of the arithmetic sequence 26, 28, 30, ...

Answer 1

Answer:

200

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is given as:

f(n) = a + (n - 1)d

where a = first term

d = common difference

The first term of the sequence is 26 and the common difference is 2 (28 - 26 = 2)

The 88th term of the sequence is therefore:

f(88) = 26 + (88 - 1)*2

f(88) = 26 + (87 * 2)

f(88) = 26 + 174

f(88) = 200

The 88th term is 200.
