Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
The n th term of an arithmetic sequence is
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
(a)
Given a₁ = - 2 and a₄ = 16, then
a₁ + 3d = 16 , that is
- 2 + 3d = 16 ( add 2 to both sides )
3d = 18 ( divide both sides by 3 )
d = 6

(b)
Given
= 11998 , then
a₁ + (n - 1)d = 11998 , that is
- 2 + 6(n - 1) = 11998 ( add 2 to both sides )
6(n - 1) = 12000 ( divide both sides by 6 )
n - 1 = 2000 ( add 1 to both sides )
n = 2001
