Solution

The 1st term = -3

15th term = 53

15th term = a + d(n-1)

53 = -3 + d(15- 1) [Here n = 15)

53 + 3 = d(14)

14d = 56

d = 4

The common difference is 4.

500th term of 24,31,38,45,52

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

This looks like a simple arithmetic series. Each term is 7 greater than the previous term.

Therefore, the Nth term is 17 + 7N.

For example, the first term is 17 + 7*1 = 17 + 7 = 24.

The second term is 17 + 7*2 = 17 + 14 = 31

etc...

And the 500th term is 17 + 7 * 500 = 17 + 3500 = 3517
