find the 50th term of the sequences 5, -2, -9, -16,...

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

A sub n = 12 - 7n. substitute 50 for n

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@blurbendy can you explain how to get this?

OpenStudy (blurbendy):

all the terms have a difference of 7, hence -7n. To get the first number in the sequence, substitute 1 in for n = -7, but we need to get to 5, so add 12.

got it, thanks for putting everything in logic.
