Sagot :

Step-by-step explanation:

Next term is - 51

Use formula Tn=a+(n-1)d

a=the first term of the sequence which is - 15

d=the difference between the terms which is - 9

Substitute

Tn=-15+(n-1)(-9)

Tn=-15+9-9n

Tn=-9n-6

From this you will be able to generate all the terms in the pattern

If they say determine the 50th term just substitute 50 by n

Tn=-9(50)-6

Tn=-450-6

Tn=-456
