Solution Incorrect

If a1 = 10 and an = an−1 − 4 then

find the value of a5 .

a1 = 10

a2 = a2−1 − 4
= a1 − 4
= (10) − 4
a2 = 6

a3 = a3−1 − 4
= a2 − 4
= (6) − 4
a3 = 2

a4 = a4−1 − 4
= a3 − 4
= (2) − 4
a4 = −2

a5 = a5−1 − 4
= a4 − 4
= (−2) − 4
a5 = −6

Arithmetic Sequence:
10, 6, 2, −2, −6, ...

Final Answer:
−6

Your Answer

−15
