In a given pattern: 4, 8, 12, 16, … what is the 17th term?
Answers
Answer:
the given progression is 4,8,12,16,....
this is arithmetic progression with a=4 and d=4
the n th term of a.p is tn=a+(n-1)d
t17=4+(17-1)4
t17=4+(16)4=4×17=68
therefore, t17=68
hope you it helps,thank you
17th term = 68
Given :
The pattern 4, 8, 12, 16, …
To find :
17th term
Concept :
The nth term of an AP is
aₙ = a + (n - 1 )d
a = first term
aₙ = nth term
d = common difference.
Solution :
Step 1 of 3 :
Write down the given pattern
Here the given pattern is 4, 8, 12, 16, …
This is an arithmetic progression
Step 2 of 3 :
Write down first term and common difference
The arithmetic progression is
4, 8, 12, 16, …
First term = a = 4
Common Difference = d = 8 - 4 = 4
Step 3 of 3 :
Find 17th term of the pattern
17th term of the pattern
= a + (17 - 1)d
= a + 16d
= 4 + [16 × 4]
= 4 + 64
= 68
