Assuming u dont know how to obtain the formula, I've shown u the long winded way of obtaining the formula.
1st term : 1 = 1+0 = 1+2(0)
2nd term : 3 = 1+2 = 1+2(1)
3rd term : 5 = 1+4 = 1+2(2)
4th term : 7 = 1+6 = 1+2(3)
.
.
.
nth term : 1+2(n-1)
= 1+2n-2
= 2n-1
Therefore the 100th term,
n=100
100th term = 2(100) - 1 = 199
Hope this helps

This is series of odd numbers
odd numbers are represented by (2n+ 1)
when n= 0 the value is 1, when n = 1, the value is 3
for 100 the term substitute n= 99
2(99) + 1 = 198 + 1 = 199
for n th term substitute n = n-1
2(n-1) + 1 = 2n - 2 + 1 = 2n - 1

This is a series where U(n+1) = U(n) + 2 with U(1) = 1
you know that the series can be written U(n) = U(1) + 2(n-1)
therefore U(100) = 199

the nth term is 2n-1
The 100th term is 2(100)-1 = 199
