Hello! since u haven't specified...the strength of the last term...thus answer will have a variable....
u said...a,b......c...where c=last term or L....
now d=b-a
therefore.....c= a+(n-1)(b-a)
..=> a-c = (n-1)(a-b)
=> a-c = an - bn - a - b....
=> a-2c = (a-b)n -(a+b+c)

=> 2c-a + (a-b)n...is the answer........

Don't Dream ..Do the dream...

Rock On ....
