Question

The first negative term of the sequence 114 , 109, 104 is

Answer 1

Answer:

the sequence is

114 , (114-5)=109 , (109-5)=104 , ...

here 1st term a=114

common difference=d=(109-114)= -5

114÷5=23(approx)

so 24rd term is

a+(24-1).d

=114+23×(-5)

=114-115

= -1

so 1st negative term is -1 and it is the 24 th term
