Question

Find the 5th term of sequence 5,14,23....

Answer 1

Next will be 32 and the fifth will be 41.

Answer 2

Let a be the first term and d be the common difference.

Given that first term a = 5, common difference d = 14 - 5 = 9.

We know that sum of n terms of an AP sn = a + (n - 1) * d

Therefore the 5th term of the sequence s5 = 5 + (5 - 1) * 9

                                                                         = 5 + 4 * 9
 
                                                                         = 5 + 36

                                                                         = 41.


Therefore the 5th term = 41.


Hope this helps!
