If (a_n=6n+5), which term will be (107)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 17th term
To find the position of 107, put a_n = 107 in the general term: 6n + 5 = 107. Thus, 6n = 102 and n = 17. Therefore, 107 is the 17th term. The 16th term is 6(16) + 5 = 101, so it is not correct. Exam tip: To find the term number for a given value, equate a_n to that value.
