OpenStudy (curry):

OpenStudy (amistre64):

typing the same question over and over again is considered spamming.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if you need help, interact with those who are trying to help you please

OpenStudy (curry):

like 15 th term or wat

OpenStudy (anonymous):

beside I can see any pattern

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the nth term is just the formula for the typical term

OpenStudy (amistre64):

I can see a pattern if we ignore the first term; otherwise its a typo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, first one is sticking out in what otherwise be simple arithmetic sequence

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its a typo it suppose to be 1,5

OpenStudy (amistre64):

then we can assist you :) an aritmetic sequence has the pattern: A{n} = A{1} + d(n-1)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

in this case, the common difference between terms is -2 and A{1} = 5

OpenStudy (amistre64):

A{n} = 5 - 2(n-1)
