Write Terms of an Arithmetic Sequence
-$$a _ { n } = a _ { n } - 1 - 7 ; a _ { 1 } = 5$$
A) $5 , - 2 , - 9 , - 16 , - 23$
B) $4 , - 3 , - 10 , - 17 , - 24$
C) $- 7 , - 2,3,8,13$
D) $5 , - 7 , - 2 , - 9 , - 16$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given sequence is an arithmetic sequence with the first term $a_1 = 5$ and a common difference of $-7$. Each subsequent term is found by subtracting 7 from the previous term, starting with 5. This results in the sequence $5, -2, -9, -16, -23$.
