Given: The sum of first n terms.

To Find: The rth term.

Let the first term be a and common difference be d

Put n = 1 to get the first term

a = S1 = 3 + 2 = 5

Put n = 2 to get a + (a + d)2a + d = 12 + 4 = 1610 + d = 16d = 6tr = a + (r - 1)d tr = 5 + (r - 1)6 = 5 + 6r - 6 = 6r - 1

The rth term is given by 6r - 1.
