Answer:
560
Step-by-step explanation:
The sequence above is an arithmetic sequence
For an nth term in an arithmetic sequence
A(n) = a + ( n - 1)d
where a is the first term
n is the number of terms
d is the common difference
Since we're finding the 53rd term
a = - 12
n = 53
d = -1 - ( -12) = - 1 + 12 = 11 or 10--1 = 10 +1 =11
d = 11
So we have
A(53) = - 12 + (11)(53 - 1)
= - 12 + 11(52)
= -12 + 572
= 560
We have the final answer as
560
Hope this helps you
