Answer

The second term is -3.2, the fourth term is -5.4, and the eleventh term is -13.1

Work Step by Step

The given equation is: A(n) = -2.1 + (n - 1)(-1.1) Second term:: n=2 Sub in 2 for n in the equation A(2) = -2.1 + (2 - 1)(-1.1) A(2) = -3.2 Fourth term:: n=4 Sub in 4 for n in the equation A(4) = -2.1 + (4 - 1)(-1.1) A(4) = -5.4 Eleventh term:: n=11 Sub in 11 for n in the equation A(11) = -2.1 + (11 - 1)(-1.1) A(11) = -13.1 Therefore, the second term is -3.2, the fourth term is -5.4, and the eleventh term is -13.1
