Question

I need the three terms in the pattern 11, 7, 3, -1, -5. And also can you describe the pattern? If you did it thanks!!

Answer 1

Answer:

a1 = 11, a2 = 7, a3 = 3, a4 = -1, a5 = -5

d = 7 - 11 = - 4

an = a + (n-1) d

a6 = 11 + (6-1)×-4 = 11 - 20 = -9

a7 = 11 + (7-1)×-4 = 11 - 24 = -13

a8 = 11 + (8-1)×-4 = 11 - 28 = -17

.

THE NEXT THREE TERMS ARE :- -9, -13, -17
