Question

Use the explicit formula to find the 41st term of the sequence, 10,4,-2,-8
GIVING 65 POINTS

Answer 1

-230

Explanation:

well have to use this formula:

1st + common difference (desired term - 1)

10 + (-6) (41-1)

10 - 6 (40)

10 - 240

-230

Answer 2

What we know here is that the pattern subtracts 6 every nth value progression.

We can create a explicit formula for this sequence.

let the output be f(n)

let term # = n

so the formula would be...

`f(n)=10-6(n-1)`

If we plug in the value 41 for n

`f(n)=10-6(41-1)\\f(n)=10-6(40)\\f(n)=10-240\\f(n)=-230`

41st term of the sequence is -230
