Answer:
= n - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Note the difference between consecutive terms is constant, that is
0 - (- 1) = 0 + 1 = 1
1 - 0 = 1
2 - 1 = 1
3 - 2 = 1
This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with n th term
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Here a₁ = - 1 and d = 1, thus
= - 1 + n - 1 = n - 2
