Answer:

The next three terms are (-3n - 2), (-3n - 5), (-3n - 8)

Explanation:

T(n) = 1 - 3n, where

  • n is the position of the term in the sequence

To find the next three terms substitute n by n + 1, n + 2, n + 3

n = n + 1

∴ T(n + 1) = 1 - 3(n + 1)

∴ T(n + 1) = 1 - 3(n) - 3(1)

∴ T(n + 1) = 1 - 3n - 3

∴ T(n + 1) = -3n - 2

T(n + 1) = -3n -2

n = n + 2

∴ T(n + 2) = 1 - 3(n + 2)

∴ T(n + 2) = 1 - 3(n) - 3(2)

∴ T(n + 2) = 1 - 3n - 6

∴ T(n + 2) = -3n - 5

T(n + 2) = -3n -5

n = n + 3

∴ T(n + 3) = 1 - 3(n + 3)

∴ T(n + 3) = 1 - 3(n) - 3(3)

∴ T(n + 3) = 1 - 3n - 9

∴ T(n + 3) = -3n - 8

T(n + 3) = -3n - 8

The next three terms are (-3n - 2), (-3n - 5), (-3n - 8)
