The general term of a sequence is given by an = -4n + 15. Is the sequence an A.P. ? If so, find its 15th term and the common difference

Expert Answer:
an=-4n+15
So,
an-1=-4(n-1)+15=-4n+15+4
So, an-an-1=-4= constant
Hence, the given sequence is AP.
Common difference d=-4
15th term, n=15
a15=-60+15=-45
