✔ 最佳答案
As the difference of any two successive members of the pattern is a constant (-2), the pattern is an arithmetic progression or arithmetic sequence.
The initial term of the arithmetic progression is 2 and the common difference of successive members is -2. Therefore, the nth term of the sequence is given by
a(n)=2+(n-1)(-2)=4-2n
where n=1,2,3,...
