112112 is the 37th term

Explanation:

This is an arithmetic sequence

So, T_n=a+(n-1)dTn=a+(n1)d
where aa is your first term, nn is your nth term and dd is the difference between 2 adjacent terms

Looking at the sequence,
a=4a=4
d=3d=3

Since you want to find the 37th term, then n=37n=37

T_n=a+(n-1)dTn=a+(n1)d
T_37=4+(37-1)3T37=4+(371)3
T_37=4+36times3T37=4+36×3
T_37=112T37=112

a_37=112a37=112

Explanation:

"these are the terms of an arithmetic sequence"these are the terms of an arithmetic sequence

"the n th term of an arithmetic sequence is"the n th term of an arithmetic sequence is

•color(white)(x)a_n=a_1+(n-1)dxan=a1+(n1)d

"where "a_1" is the first term and d the common difference"where a1 is the first term and d the common difference

d=7-4=10-7=3" and "a_1=4d=74=107=3 and a1=4

a_(37)=4+(36xx3)=4+108=112a37=4+(36×3)=4+108=112
