The value of p and q is 2 , -8 , The nth term of the series is given by 3 * n² + n-2 , the 40th term is 4838 .
A sequence which has n term in its sequence , The difference of the consecutive number is not same , its second difference is same.
The sequence is given as 7; p; -3;q;...
for a linear pattern
7-p = p- (-3) = -3-q
2p = 4
p = 2
and
2+3 = -3 -q
5 +3 = -q
q = -8
The value of p and q is 2 , -8
A quadratic sequence is defined as 2; 12; 28; 50
The next two terms are 77 and 112.
3. The T40 of the sequence is
The nth term of the series is given by
3 * n² + n-2
therefore 40th term is
3 *40² + 40-2
3 *1600 +38
4838
Therefore the 40th term is 4838 .
