n^(th) of the given sequence
t_(n) = 3n -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:-

Given that the first term a = -4

Given that the common difference 'd' = 3

The
n^(th) of the given sequence


t_(n) = a+(n-1)d


t_(n) = -4+(n-1)3


t_(n) = -4 + 3n -3

The
n^(th) of the given sequence
t_(n) = 3n -7
