Answer:
- 334
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a common difference between consecutive terms in the given sequence, that is
d = 2 - 9 = - 5 - 2 = - 7
This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with n th term
[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Here a₁ = 9 and d = - 7 , thus
[tex]a_{50}[/tex] = 9 + (49 × - 7) = 9 - 343 = - 334
