Given ![](http://admin.getprephub.com/media/editor/seq7_20221124205200693330.png) Find the $$4^{\text {th }}$$ term in the sequence.

Here, $$a(1)=-2,$$ Given that, $$a(n)=a(n-1)-5$$ Putting $$n=4$$, $$a(4) =a(3)-5 $$ $$=a(2)-5-5 \quad[\because a(3)=a(2)-5] $$ $$=a(1)-5-10 \quad[\because a(2)=a(1)-5] $$ $$=a(1)-15 $$ $$=-2-15 $$ $$=-17 $$
