10,8,6,4,2,0,....
the differences between each terms are:
10......8......6......4......2......0....
.....-2..-2..-2....-2....-2....
the differences are all the same so it is an Arithmetic sequence and the common difference is d=-2
then nth term is:
a%5Bn%5D=+a%5B1%5D%2Bd%28n-1%29
a%5Bn%5D=+a%5B1%5D-2%28n-1%29
