Answer: [tex]a_n=-17+3(n-1)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Arithmetic sequence : -17, -14, -11, -8, ...
Here the first term , [tex]a_1=-17[/tex]
Common difference : [tex]d=-14-(-17)=3[/tex]
The formula to find the nth term is given by :-
[tex]a_n=a_1+d(n-1)[/tex]
i.e. [tex]a_n=-17+3(n-1)[/tex]
Hence, the equation for the nth term of the arithmetic sequence :-
[tex]a_n=-17+3(n-1)[/tex]
