This is an arithmetic progression (AP), so the AP formula: \"a%5Bn%5D+=+a%5B1%5D+%2B+%28n+-+1%29d\" can be used
\n" ); document.write( "\"a%5B100%5D+=+3+%2B+%28100+-+1%297\" ------- Substituting 100 for n, 3 for \"a%5B1%5D\" (1st term), and 7 for d (common difference)
\n" ); document.write( "\"a%5B100%5D+=+3+%2B+%2899%297\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"a%5B100%5D+=+3+%2B+693\"
\n" ); document.write( "The 100th term, or \"highlight_green%28a%5B100%5D+=+696%29\" \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
