Write a formula that will yield the nth term of the sequence: 3,-2,-7,-12

Mathematics

RUDIKE [14]3 years ago

Answer:

-5n + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>1. What is the difference?</u>

  The sequence goes down by 5. This means that the formula will have -5n in it.

<u>2. Work out the term before the first term.</u>

    The first term is 3, and we know that the sequence goes up by 5. So, to get the term before 3 we would add 5.

3 + 5 = 8   Remember, this is positive 8. (+8)

<u>3. Put that term at the end of the equation. </u>

   We have -5n already and we just worked out the term before the first one which is positive 8 - so put that at the end of the equation.

-5n + 8  This is our answer!

Just to prove it works:

<em>Substitute:   n = term</em>

Lets see if we can get the 3rd term which is -7. (n = 3)

-5(3) + 8

-15 + 8 = -7

See, it works!
