Question

B(1) = -500
b(n) = b(n − 1)
What is the 3rd term in the sequence?

Answer 1

Explanation:

b(1)=-500

b(n)=b(n-1)

b(1)=-500(1-1)

b(1)=-500*1

b(1)=-500

Answer 2

`\huge\boxed{b(3)=b(1)=-500}`

Explanation:

`b(n)=b(n-1)\\\\b(1)=-500\\\\b(2)=b(2-1)=b(1)=-500\\\\b(3)=b(3-1)=b(2)=-500\\\\\text{All terms are the same.}`
