Answer

$a_2=3950$ $a_3=3900$ $a_4=3850$

Work Step by Step

First, we find that the common difference is 50. This allows us to find the next terms in the sequence, given the starting number. Note, to get a given term, subtract the common difference from the previous term. $a_2=4000-50=3950$ $a_3=3950-50=3900$ $a_4=3900-50=3850$
