-11, -9, -7, -5, -3 What is the next number? What is the 200th term in this sequence?
We see that Term 1 is -11, Term 2 is -9, so we do a point slope equation of (1,-11)(2,-9) to get the nth term of the formula
f(n) = 2n - 13
The next number is the 6th term:
f(6) = 2(6) - 13
f(6) = 12 - 13
f(6) = -1
The 200th term is:
f(200) = 2(200) - 13
f(200) = 400 - 13
f(200) = 387
