Find the value of the term in the sequence.
7, 2, –3, –8, –13,...
A) –27
B) –53
C) –63
D) –58***
Value of which term?
14th
Yes, -58
To find the value of a term in a given sequence, we need to identify the pattern or rule that the sequence follows.
In the given sequence: 7, 2, -3, -8, -13,...
We can observe that each term is obtained by subtracting 5 from the previous term. So, the sequence follows a common difference of -5.
To find the value of the next term in the sequence, we need to subtract 5 from the previous term:
-13 - 5 = -18
Therefore, the next term in the sequence is -18.
Since none of the given answer choices match the value we found, it seems that there might be an error in the question or answer choices provided. Please double-check the given options or consult with your instructor.
