Question

What is the 6th value in the sequence with the explicit formula an=−2n−14?

Answer 1

The 6th value in a sequence is -26.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The formula for nth term is a sequence ⇒ an = -2n-14
• To find 6th value in a sequence, substitute n=6 in the formula.

an = -2n-14

⇒ a6 = -2(6)-14

⇒ a6 = -12-14

⇒ a6 = -26

∴ The 6th value in a sequence is -26.
