Question

An = 12 + (n − 1).–2HELPPPP

Answer 1

Step 1

Substitute for n = 101 in the equation

`\begin{gathered} a_n=12\text{ + (n-1).-2} \\ a_n=12\text{ +(101-1).-2} \end{gathered}`

Step 2

Simplify the problem

`\begin{gathered} a_n=12\text{ +100.-2} \\ a_n=12\text{ + }(-200) \\ a_n=12-200 \\ a_n=-188 \end{gathered}`
