Decide whether 301 is term of given sequence 5, 11, 17, 23,.....
Activity :- Here, d = `square`, therefore this sequence is an A.P.
a = 5, d = `square`
Let nth term of this A.P. be 301.
tn = a + (n – 1) `square`
301 = 5 + (n – 1) × `square`
301 = 6n – 1
n = `302/6` = `square`
But n is not positive integer.
Therefore, 301 is `square` the term of sequence 5, 11, 17, 23,......
