Find the 98th term of the arithmetic sequence - 10,-8, - 6, ...

Answer: 184

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of am arithmetic sequence is calculated as:

Nth term = a + (n-1) d

where a = first term

d = common difference

a = - 10

d = - 8 - (-10) = - 8+10 = 2

98th term = a + (n-1) d

= - 10 + (98-1) (2)

= - 10 + (97*2)

= - 10 + 194

= 184

The 98th term of the arithmetic sequence is 184
