Given an integer, how do u find its opposite....
change the sign
example :
2....its opposite is -2
-3...its opposite is 3
5....its opposite is -5
-4...its opposite is 4
The answer would be 24 because 24-4 is 20
The zero is closed to the origin
<span> To get an explicit formula, we need to find an expression which gives the n-th term without having to compute earlier terms in the sequence. Looking at the numbers, and from the recursive formula, we see that the sequence is built by subtracting n from the previous term. This is similar to the triangular number sequence 1,3,6,10,15,... which has the explicit formula a_n = n(n+1)/2. In our case we are subtracting n from the previous term, so we multiply by -1/2 instead of 1/2. However, we also need to add a constant term to reproduce the numbers of the sequence. We can write a_1 = -1(2)/2 + c = 8. Therefore, c = 9.
So the explict formula is:
a_n = -n(n+1)/2 + 9</span>
