We can say that this its an arithmetic sequence because it has a common difference:

d=303-309=-6

d=297-303=-6

Arithmetic sequences are represented by the following expression:


a_n=a_1+(n-1)d

Where,

an=The term we want to find

a1= first term of the sequence

n= term position

d=common difference


\begin{gathered} a_(33)=309-6(33-1) \\ a_(33)=309-192 \\ a_(33)=117_{} \end{gathered}
