3 - 50(2x + 1)
3 - 100x - 50
-100x + (3 - 50)
-100x - 47
Looks alot like the previous term +200
I think I just had a stroke trying to read this
Answer: a(n) = 5 - 3n
the sequence has:
a1 = 2
a2 = -1
a3 = -7
.........
we can see that: a2 - a1 = a3 - a2 = -3
=> the sequence is a arithmetic sequence
=> the distance between the numbers is d = -3
because this sequence is a arithmetic sequence
=> a(n) = a1 + (n - 1)d = 2 + (n - 1).(-3) = 5 - 3n
