The first term is -2 and common difference is -5.
Given:
In arithmetic sequence,
➡tn=3-5n
To Find:
First term and common difference.
SoLution:
•tn=3-5n
Let n be 1,
t1=3-5(1)
=>t1=3-5
=>t1= -2
Let n be 2,
t2=3-5(2)
=>t2=3-10
=>t2= -7
Common difference (d)=t2-t1
t2-t1= -7-(-5)
t2-t1= -2
The first term is -2 and common difference is -5.
