Find the 54th term of the arithmetic sequence minus, 2, comma, minus, 8, comma, minus, 14, comma, point, point, .−2,−8,−14,...

The given sequence is an arithmetic sequence, which means that each term is obtained by adding a constant difference to the previous term.

In this case, the common difference (d) is -8 - (-2) = -6.

The formula to find the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is given by:

a_n = a_1 + (n - 1) * d

where: a_n is the nth term, a_1 is the first term, n is the position of the term in the sequence, d is the common difference.

Substituting the given values into the formula, we get:

a_54 = -2 + (54 - 1) * -6 a_54 = -2 + 53 * -6 a_54 = -2 - 318 a_54 = -320

So, the 54th term of the given arithmetic sequence is -320.
