First 100 terms of the following sequence 3 ,7 ,11
Question
Answer:
Given that [tex]a_1 = 3, d = 4[/tex]Find the nth term:
[tex]a_n = 3 + 4(n - 1)[/tex]
[tex]a_n = 3 + 4n - 4[/tex]
[tex]a_n = 4n - 1[/tex]
Find the 100th term:
[tex]a_{100} = 4(100) - 1 = 399[/tex]
Find the Sum:
[tex]\text{Sum} = 100(\dfrac{a_1 + a_{100}}{2} )= 100 (\dfrac{3 + 399}{2}) = 20100[/tex]
