1) According to the equation , given that -
a = 2 , d = a2 - a1 = 5-2 = 3 , n = 9
So , according to the formula =
an = a + (n-1) d
a9 = 2 + (9-1)(3)
a9 = 2 + 8×3
a9 = 2 + 24
a9 = 26
So , 9th term of arithmetic sequence = 26
2) a = 3 , d = 5-3 = 2 , n = 20
an = a + (n-1)(d)
a20 = 3 + (20-1)(2)
a20 = 3 + 19×2
a20 = 3 + 38
a20 = 41
So , 20th term of arithmetic sequence = 41
3) a = 1 , d = 1/2 - 1 = -1/2 , n = 16
an = a + (n-1)(d)
a16 = 1 + (16-1)(-1/2)
a16 = 1 + 15×-1/2
a16 = 1 - 15/2
a16 = -13/2
So , 16th term of arithmetic sequence = -13/2
