Answer:
not a term
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a common difference between consecutive terms in the sequence, that is
d = 11- 5 = 17 - 11 = 23 - 17 = 6
This indicate the sequence is arithmetic with n th term
[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Here a₁ = 5 and d = 6, thus
[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = 5 + 6(n - 1) = 5 + 6n - 6 = 6n - 1
Equate this to 301 and solve for n
6n - 1 = 301 ( add 1 to both sides )
6n = 302 ( divide both sides by 6 )
n = 50.333....
Since n is not an integer value then 301 is not a term in this sequence.
