ANSWER

First term of the sequence is 10 and common difference is 3.

a

1

= 10 and d = 3

Next term = a

2

=a

1

+d=10+3=13

a

3

=a

2

+d=13+3=16

Thus, first three terms of the sequence are 10, 13 and 16.

Let 100 be the NTH term of the sequence.

a

n

=a

1

+(n−1)d

100=10+(n−1)3

90=(n−1)3

n−1=30

n=31, which is a whole number.

Therefore, 100 is the 31

st

term of the sequence
