Question

What is the 6th value in the sequence with the explicit formula
an= −2n−14?

Answer 1

Given, Tn = -2n - 14

To Find : What is the 6th value in the sequence

Solution: Simply Substitute the value of n as 6 .

Tn = -2n-14

Tn = -2(6) -14

Tn = -12 - 14

Tn = -14 - 12

Tn = -26

Therefore -10 is the 6th value in the sequence.

Answer 2

a6 = -26

Explanation:

Fill in n=6 and do the arithmetic.

a6 = -2·6 -14 = -12-14 = -26
