-Write the first five terms of the arithmetic sequence. $$a _ { 1 } = 3 , d = - 4$$
A) $- 4 , - 1,5,23,77$
B) $- 4 , - 1,2,5,8$
C) $3 , - 1,19 , - 61,259$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The first term is given as 3, and the common difference is -4. To find the next terms, subtract 4 from the previous term: $3 - 4 = -1$, $-1 - 4 = -5$, $-5 - 4 = -9$, and $-9 - 4 = -13$.
