Answer:

a_{n} = 12 -3(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

a_{1}  = 12\\a_{n}  = a_{n-1} - 3

we have to find formula for nth term of series for this problem

a_{1}  = 12\\a_{2}  = a_{2-1} - 3 = a_{1}  -3 =  12 -3 = 9\\a_{3}  = a_{3-1} - 3 = a_{2}  -3 =  9 -3 = 6

Thus, we see series is 12, 9 ,6

Thus, we can see that series is decreasing by unit of 3.

and we know that when there is in increase or decrease in series by a a constant number then series is arithmetic progression series.

Hence, this is a decreasing AP series

In AP

nth term is given

nth term = a+(n-1)d

where a is the first term

d is the common difference

common difference is given by = nth term - (n-)th term

lets take 2nd and 1st term to get common difference.

d = 9-12 = -3

(note: this was obvious by looking at series itself that d is -3 as series was decreasing by 3 unit)

a = 12

thus, nth term = a +(n-1)d

nth term = 12 +(n-1)(-3)

nth term = 12 -3(n-1)

writing this in form of a_{n}

a_{n} = 12 -3(n-1)  Answer
