Find the 35th term of the sequence described below, where n represents the position of a term in the sequence.

Question

an = –60n + 28

Answer 1

To find the 35th term of the sequence defined by the formula \( a_n = -60n + 28 \), we need to substitute \( n = 35 \) into the formula.

\[ a_{35} = -60(35) + 28 \]

First, calculate \( -60 \times 35 \):

\[ -60 \times 35 = -2100 \]

Now, add 28 to this result:

\[ a_{35} = -2100 + 28 = -2072 \]

Thus, the 35th term of the sequence is

\[ \boxed{-2072} \]
