Answer:

a_n = -11 +3(n -1)

Explanation:

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is explicitly defined as a_n = a_1 +d(n -1) where a_1 is the first term of the sequence and d is the the common difference.

From the given first five terms of the sequence we can see that the first term is 11 so a_1 = 11.

The common difference, d, can be calculated by a_n - a_{n -1} so we'll find the common difference of the given sequence by letting n = 2

d = a_2 - a_{2 -1} \\d = a_2 -a_{1} \\d = -8 -(-11) \\ d = -8 +11 \\ d = 3.

Now let's plug everything we know.

a_1 = -11

d = 3

a_n = -11 +3(n -1)
