Find the 29th term of the sequence described below, where n represents the position of a term in the sequence. an = 80n + 79

Answer 1

To find the 29th term of the sequence defined by the formula \( a_n = 80n + 79 \), we simply need to substitute \( n = 29 \) into the formula.

\[ a_{29} = 80(29) + 79 \]

Calculating \( 80 \times 29 \):

\[ 80 \times 29 = 2320 \]

Now, add 79 to this result:

\[ a_{29} = 2320 + 79 = 2399 \]

Thus, the 29th term of the sequence is

\[ \boxed{2399} \]
