To find the value of term a, we can use the formula for the nth term:
n (position in sequence) 1 2 3 4 10 n
value of term 17 20 23 26 a b
Since the position in sequence for term a is given as 10, we substitute n = 10 into the formula:
a = 10
To find the value of term b, we can use the same formula:
b = n
Since the position in sequence for term b is given as n, we substitute n = n into the formula:
b = n
Therefore, the value of term a is 10 and the value of term b is n.
n^th term is:
n (position in sequence) 1 2 3 4 10 n
value of term 17 20 23 26 a b
a =
b=
