    Any arithmetic sequence can be expressed as:

    a (n) = a+d (n-1), a=initial term, d=common difference, n=term number

    In this case a=5, and d=-2 so

    a (n) = 5-2 (n-1) which can be simplified ...

    a (n) = 5-2n+2

    a (n) = 7-2n

    The domain is restricted to integers from 1 to + oo.
