Explanation:
arithmetic sequence means that every new term is created by adding a certain constant to the previous term.
clearly, we see here, this constant is -3.
and we start with -8.
a1 = -8
a2 = a1 - 3 = -8 - 3 = -11
a3 = a2 - 3 = a1 - 2×3 = -8 - 6 = -14
so, it becomes clear that
an = an-1 - 3 = a1 - (n-1)×3 = -8 - (n-1)×3
so,
a30 = -8 - 29×3 = -95
Answer:
-95
formula in finding this is -3
