Answer:
an = 22 -6(n -1)
Step-by-step explanation:
The first term of the sequence is given as a1 = 22. The general term of an arithmetic sequence is ...
an = a1 +d(n -1) . . . . n-th term for first term a1 and common difference d
The third term will be ...
a3 = 10 = 22 +d(3 -1)
Then the common difference is ...
10 -22 = 2d
-12/2 = d = -6
__
Putting the known values into the formula for the general term, it becomes ...
an = 22 -6(n -1)
__
This can be simplified to ...
an = 28 -6n
