Answer:
The expression to describe this sequence is Aₙ = (n - 1) * 1 - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's write an expression to describe the sequence which first four terms are as follows:
- 6, -5, -4, - 3.....
Aₙ = (n - 1) * 1 - 6; A₁ = - 6
A₁ = (n - 1) * 1 - 6 = (1 - 1) * 1 - 6 = 0 * 1 - 6 ⇒A₁ = - 6
A₂ = (n - 1) * 1 - 6 = (2 - 1) * 1 - 6 = 1 * 1 - 6⇒ A₁ = - 5
A₃ = (n - 1) * 1 - 6 = (3 - 1) * 1 - 6 = 2 * 1 - 6⇒ A₁ = - 4
A₄ = (n - 1) * 1 - 6 = (4 - 1) * 1 - 6 = 3 * 1 - 6⇒ A₁ = - 3
A₅ = (n - 1) * 1 - 6 = (5 - 1) * 1 - 6 = 4 * 1 - 6⇒ A₁ = - 2
A₆ = (n - 1) * 1 - 6 = (6 - 1) * 1 - 6 = 5 * 1 - 6⇒ A₁ = - 1
A₇ = (n - 1) * 1 - 6 = (7 - 1) * 1 - 6 = 6 * 1 - 6⇒ A₁ = 0
