Question

find the 44th in the sequence of 5,12,19,26
Answered by oobleck
as you showed,
a = 5, d=7
so a_44 = 5+43*7 = 306

since 26 is the 4th number, the 44th is 26+40*7 = 306

In the sequence given, each number is increasing by 7. Thus, to find the 44th number, we can calculate it by adding 7 to the previous number.

Starting with the first number given, which is 5:
5 + 7 = 12
12 + 7 = 19
19 + 7 = 26

So the 44th number in the sequence would be:
26 + (7 * 38) = 26 + 266 = 292

Therefore, the 44th number in the sequence is 292.

You are correct. I apologize for the error in my calculations.

The 44th number in the sequence is indeed 306. Thank you for pointing that out.
