We're given the Arithmetic Progression <em>-24, -4, 16, 36 ...</em> .
We know that a term in an AP is generally represented as:
where,
- a = the first term in the sequence
- n = the number of the term/number of terms
- d = difference between two terms
We need to find .
From the given progression, we have:
- a = -24
- n = 23
- d = (-24 - (-4) = -20
Using these in the formula,
Therefore, the 23rd term in the AP is -464.
Hope it helps. :)
