how far have you gotten?

amistre64 · Answer

and, it simpler to define this as ak = a{k-1} - 10, that wayt he kth term doesnt need to be mentally altered

cwrw238 · Answer

if i've understood it correctly
2nd term = a2 = a(2-1) - 10 = 200-10 = 190
CD = -10 
first 5 terms are 200,190,180,170,160

cwrw238 · Answer

nth term = 200 - 10n

amistre64 · Answer

thats the issue with starting a seq at n=1, it messes with the count

amistre64 · Answer

a1 = 200; yet, 200-10(1) = 190
