Question

Identify a pattern in the given list of numbers. Then use this pattern to find the next number. 17,7,-3,-13,-23

Answer 1

-33

Explanation:

The sequence is descending so the nth term would be -10n and the 0 term would be 27 so the nth term for the sequence would be -10n +27.

The question asks you to find the 6th term so (-10 x 6) + 27 = -60 + 27 = -33
