Answer: a+6d will defines the series for seven terms i.e. 38.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
[tex]8+13+18+......[/tex]
Here, a = first term = 8
d = common difference is given by
[tex]a_2-a_1\\\\=13-8\\\\=5[/tex]
So, we need to find the seven terms:
So, here n = 7
So, it becomes,
[tex]a_7=a+(n-1)d\\\\a_7=8+(7-1)5\\\\a_7=8+6\times 5\\\\a_7=8+30\\\\a_7=38[/tex]
Hence, a+6d will defines the series for seven terms i.e. 38.
