Question

The first three terms of a sequence are given. Round to the nearest thousandth (if necessary). 208, 204, 200, ... Find the 45th term.

Answer 1

To find the 45th term of the sequence, subtract 4 from the previous term successively.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the 45th term of the sequence, we need to determine the pattern. The given sequence begins with 208 and decreases by 4 each time. This means that the common difference between terms is -4. Using this pattern, we can find the 45th term by subtracting 4 from the previous term successively. Starting from 208, we subtract 4, then subtract another 4, and so on until we reach the 45th term.

Let's calculate:

1. 208 - 4 = 204
2. 204 - 4 = 200
3. 200 - 4 = 196
4. ...
5. Keep subtracting 4 until we reach the 45th term

By following this pattern, we can determine the 45th term of the sequence.
