Question 726530: if the nth term of a sequence is 4n-3
how many terms in the sequence are less than 300?

Terms are
4%2A1-3=4-3=1
4%2A2-3=8-3=5
4%2A3-3=12-3=9
and so on. It's an arithmetic sequence.
The terms that are less than 300 satisfy
4n-3%3C300 --> 4n%3C303 --> n%3C303%2F4=75%263%2F4
They include terms for n=1 through n=75 for a total of highlight%2875%29 terms.
