Find the 87th term of the arithmetic sequence 1,14,27,….

Answer:
[tex]a_{87}=1119[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Arithmetic sequence:
[tex]a_n=a_1+(n-1)d[/tex]
where d is the common difference between terms and n is the index of any given term.
Find the difference between the terms in the given sequence here:
[tex]14-1=13\\27-14=13[/tex]
Each term has a common difference of 13. Using that, you can write the equation for this sequence:
[tex]a_n=1+(n-1)13[/tex]
Finally, you can use this equation to find the 87th term by plugging in 87 for n:
[tex]a_{87}=1+(87-1)13\\a_{87}=1+(86)13\\a_{87}=1+1118\\a_{87}=1119[/tex]
