Math Problem Statement
What is the 59th term of an arithmetic progression with initial term 45 and common difference 7
Solution
To find the 59th term of an arithmetic progression (AP), we can use the formula for the nth term of an AP:
Where:
- is the nth term,
- is the first term,
- is the common difference,
- is the term number.
Given:
- ,
- ,
- ,
Substitute the values into the formula:
Thus, the 59th term of the arithmetic progression is .
