If you went back a term to find out the very first term then you'd have 10. So the answer is 10-n. Consider : Value : 10 9 8 7 6 5 Term : 0 1 2 3 4 5 Last edited: 12 Sep 2011

Whaa? I don't understand this lol. A level maths/further maths has not prepared me for this! Does step 3 mean add 2 to the element when n=0 ? And step 2 ???????
