Answer:
[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = 4n - 11
Step-by-step explanation:
These are the terms of an arithmetic sequence with n th term
[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
d = - 3 - (- 7) = 1 - (- 3) = 5 - 1 = 4
and a₁ = - 7, hence
[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = - 7 + 4(n - 1) = - 7 + 4n - 4 = 4n - 11
