In the sequence -600, -583, -566, -549,…what is the 65th term?

1 answer

We can find the common difference between terms by subtracting the second term from the first term:
-583 - (-600) = 17

Therefore, the nth term of this sequence is: -600 + (n-1)17

To find the 65th term, we substitute n = 65:
-600 + (65-1)17 = -600 + 1088 = 488

Therefore, the 65th term in the sequence is 488.
