Answer:
The 50th term is 288.
Step-by-step explanation:
A sequence that each term is related with the prior by a sum of a constant ratio is called a arithmetic progression, the sequence in this problem is one of those. In order to calculate the nth term of a setence like that we need to use the following formula:
an = a1 + (n-1)*r
Where an is the nth term, a1 is the first term, n is the position of the term in the sequence and r is the ratio between the numbers. In this case:
a50 = -6 + (50 - 1)*6
a50 = -6 + 49*6
a50 = -6 + 294
a50 = 288
The 50th term is 288.
