Answer:
The 18th term of the sequence is -117.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given sequence is 2,-5,-12,-19
From this AP,
First term, a = 2
Common difference, d = -5-2 = -7
It is required to find the 18th term of the sequence. The nth term of an AP is given by :
[tex]a_n=a+(n-a)d\\\\a_{18}=a+17d\\\\a_{18}=2+17\times (-7)\\\\a_{18}=-117[/tex]
So, the 18th term of the sequence is -117.
