Sagot :

Answer: the 100th term of the sequence =-273 (1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the first term = 222

and d  (common difference )=-5 Then we are talking about an arithmetic progression

The nth term of an Arithmetic progression is given as

Tn=a + (n - 1)d

Therefore given that n =100

Tn=a + (n - 1)d = 222 +(100-1)-5

222+ (99)-5

222-495=-273
