100, 75, 50, 25, 0, -25 What is the next number? What is the 100th term? Using point slope, we get (1, 100)(2, 75) Our series function becomes f(n) = -25n + 125 The next term is the 7th term: f(7) = -25(7) + 125 f(7) = -175 + 125 f(7) = -50 The 100th term is found by n = 100: f(100) = -25(100) + 125 f(100) = -2500 + 125 f(100) = -2375
