Question

Find the fifth term in this sequence: t sub n = 12 minus 2 n

Answer 1

If I'm getting this right, the sequence is :

Tn= 12 - 2*n.

The first term is T1 and to find it, you replace the n=1 in the right side of the equation - which means :

T1= 12 - 2=10

Same goes for T2, which is : T2=12-2*2=8

Ergo, the fifth term is T5, which is : T5=12-2*5=2.
