The given sequence is an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of -4. To find the nth term formula, we first determine the first term, which is 100. The nth term formula for an arithmetic sequence is given by: a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d, where a_n is the nth term, a_1 is the first term, n is the term number, and d is the common difference. Therefore, the nth term formula for this sequence is a_n = 100 - 4(n-1) or a_n = 104 - 4n.

JudyOh, dude, you're hitting me with some math here! So, the nth term formula for this sequence is just n = 104 - 4(n-1). It's like a magic trick, but with numbers. So, if you plug in n = 1, you get 100, n = 2 gives you 96, and so on. It's like a math puzzle, but with less excitement.
Since the difference of any two consecutive numbers (the common difference) is 4 (a constant), then this sequence is an arithmetic sequence.
Let's take a look at this sequence:
t1 = 100
t2 = t1 - 4 = 100 - 4 = 96
t3 = t2 - 4 = 96 - 4 = 92
t4 = t3 - 4 = 92 - 4 = 88
Thus, the formulas t1 = 100 and tn = t(n-1) - 4 gives a recursive definition for the sequence 100, 96, 92, 88.

What are the first 5 terms in the sequence whose nth term is given by 30-2n?
Well, darling, the first 5 terms in that fancy sequence are 28, 26, 24, 22, and 20. You get those numbers by plugging in n values 1 through 5 into the formula 30-2n. So, there you have it, sweet cheeks!
