Answer: The 91st term is -1705

Explanation:

The common difference appears to be -19

5 + d = -14, solve for d ; d = -14 - 5 = -19

-14 + d = -33, d = -33 + 14 = -19

a(sub n+1) = a(sub n) + d

a(sub n) = a(sub 1) + (n - 1)*d

a(sub n) = 5 + (n - 1)*(-19)

so a(sub 91) represents the 91st term of the arithmetic sequence.

a(sub 91) = 5 + (91 - 1)*(-19)

a(sub 91) = -1705

The 91st term is -1705
