The pattern of a term is 2, 5, 8, 11, 14,... and its general term is $3n-1$. Find the $50^{th} $ term.
Given :
The given pattern is 2,5,8,11,14.....
The general term is $3n-1$.
To do :
We have to find the $50^{th} $ term.
Solution :
$3n-1$
Substitue $n=50$,
$3n-1= 3(50)-1 = 150 - 1 = 149$
Therefore, the value of $50^{th}$ term is 149.
