Answer:
16th term of the given sequence is 53.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, the first term (a 1) = 8
Common Difference (d) = 3
n = 16
Now in ARITHMETIC PROGRESSION:
The nth term of any sequence is given as [tex]a_{n} = a+ (n-1)d[/tex]
⇒ a 16 is given as:
[tex]a_{16} = 8 + (16-1)3\\\implies a_{16} = 8 + 15(3) = 8 + 45 = 53\\[/tex]
⇒ a (16) = 53
Hence, 16th term of the given sequence is 53.
