Question

What are the first 6 terms for this arithmetic equation?

Answer 1

Answer:

3, - 2, - 7, - 12, - 17, - 22

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the first 6 terms substitute n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 into the formula, that is

t(1 + 1) = t(1) - 5 ⇒ t(2) = 3 - 5 = - 2

t(2 + 1) = t(2) - 5 ⇒ t(3) = - 2 - 5 = - 7

t(3 + 1) = t(3) - 5 ⇒ t(4)  = - 7 - 5 = - 12

t(4 + 1) = t(4) - 5 ⇒ t(5) = - 12 - 5 = - 17

t(5 + 1) = t(5) - 5 ⇒ t(6) = - 17 - 5 = - 22
