Arithmetical Progression "n" th term of an A.P. is (2n-1), find out 7th term.

OpenStudy (barrycarter):

Hint: What happens when you replace n with 7?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a+13d

OpenStudy (barrycarter):

Ummm, I'm not sure how you got that? The progression is 2n-1, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it is the n'th term

OpenStudy (barrycarter):

So, in that formula, if you put 7 in place of n, what do you get (and how)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

n'th term = a+(n-1)d this is what i am using.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

putting 7 in (2n-1)= 13

OpenStudy (barrycarter):

@gemini208012 and that's your answer. In this case, they give you the nth term explicitly, no need for the regular formula
