Question

A sequence has three terms.

Its term-to-term rule is
multiply by 6 and then add 13
a) The first term of the sequence is -2
Work out the third term.
b) The order of the three terms of the sequence is reversed.
Describe the term-to-term rule of the new sequence.

Answer 1

It's term is -3 it can be divided into 6 points +79

Answer 2

a) The third term is 19
b) The new term-to-term rule is subtract 13 and then divide by 6.

Explanation:

First term: -2
Second term: 1 (-2 * 6 = -12 + 13 = 1)
Third term: 19 (1 * 6 = 6 + 13 = 19)

Our reversed sequence is now 19, 1, -2

First term: 19

Second term: 1 (19 - 13 = 6 / 6 = 1)

Third term: -2 (1 - 13 = -12 / 6 = -2)
