Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sequence is: 5, 1, - 3

Here:

$t_1 = 5 \\ t_2 = 1 \\ t_3 = - 3 \\ now \: \\ t_2 - t_1 = 1 - 5 = - 4\\ t_3 - t_2 = - 3 - 1= - 4 \\ \therefore \: given \: sequence \: is \: in \: A. P. \\ so \: common\: difference\: d = - 4\\\therefore \: t_4 = t_3 + d = - 3-4=-7\\ t_5 = t_4 + d = - 7-4=-11\\ t_6 = t_5 + d = - 11-4=-15 \: and\: so\: on...$
