Program to find N-th term of series 3, 6, 18, 24, … in C++
In this problem, we are given a number N. Our task is to create a Program to find N-th term of series 3, 6, 18, 24, … in C++.
Problem Description − To find the Nth term of the series −
3, 6, 18, 24, 45, 54, 84 … N Terms
We need to find the general formula for the given series.
Let’s take an example to understand the problem,
Input − N = 10
Output − 150
Solution Approach:
To find the general term of the series, we will first observe the series and check all the possible generalizations of the series. Like, 3 is common in all but as you go-ahead, you will find that it will not provide any result.
Here, we can also take out the term n i.e. 1, 2, 3. From their values in series to give it a new form. Further checking the remaining value, we will get the following general formula.
General Term of the series
Tn = (n*((n/2) + ((n%2) *2) + 5))
Example
#include <iostream> using namespace std; int findNTerm(int N) { int nthTerm = ( N*((N/2)+ ((N%2)*2) + N) ); return nthTerm; } int main() { int N = 7; cout<<N<<"th term of the series is "<<findNTerm(N); return 0; }
Output:
7th term of the series is 84
