5) Find the 17th term of the A.P 4 , 9 , 14 ,…………

Solution:

First term = 4

              a = 4

Common difference = 9 - 4  

                                 d = 5

n = 17

General term of an A.P

tn =  a + (n - 1) d

tn =  4 + (17 - 1) (5)

    = 4 + 16 (5)

    = 4 + 80

    = 84

Therefore 17th of A.P is 84
