an = a1 + (n - 1)d
a20 = a1 + (19)d
a20 = 2 + (19)(-0.3)
a20 = 2 - 5.7
a20 = -3.7
Fourth equation has the correct value, yet it is missing -1 after the n.

asked 04/26/19Write a formula for the general term (the nth term) of the arithmetic sequence. Then use the formula for an to find a20, the 20th term of the sequence.
a1 = 2, d = -0.3
which one?:
an = 2n - 0.3; a20 = 39.7
an = 2n - 2.3; a20 = 37.7
an = -0.3n + 2.3; a20 = -3.7
an = -0.3n + 2; a20 = -4
