Answer:
[tex]a_n =-3n-10[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
-13 + (-16) + (-19) +...
Difference between two terms = -3
-16 -(-13)= -3
-19 -(-16)= -3
Common difference is a constant so it is arithmatic
[tex]a_n = a_1+(n-1)d[/tex]
where 'd' is the difference = -3
a1 is the first term that is -13
[tex]a_n = -13+(n-1)(-3)[/tex]
[tex]a_n = -13-3n+3[/tex]
Combine like terms
[tex]a_n =-3n-10[/tex]
