Question 1 Report

Find the 17term of the Arithmetic Progression (A.P):-6,-1,4
Answer Details
To find the 17th term of the arithmetic progression -6, -1, 4, we need to first find the common difference, d, between the terms: d = -1 - (-6) = 5 Now we can use the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic progression: a_n = a_1 + (n - 1) * d where a_1 is the first term and n is the term we want to find. Plugging in the values we have: a_17 = -6 + (17 - 1) * 5 a_17 = -6 + 16 * 5 a_17 = -6 + 80 a_17 = 74 Therefore, the 17th term of the arithmetic progression is 74. Answer option (C) is correct.
