The terms in the sequence are;
[tex]3,1,-1,-3,-5[/tex]
The first term is 3
The common difference is -2.
To determine the nth term of the Arithmetic Sequence (AP), we shall apply the formula;
[tex]\begin{gathered} Nth=a+(n-1)d \\ n_{14}=3+(14-1)\times-2 \\ n_{14}=3+(13)\times-2 \\ n_{14}=3+(-26) \\ n_{14}=3-26 \\ n_{14}=-23 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Therefore the 14th term (n14) is -23
