Answer:

[tex]a_{14}=-7[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence is:

6, 5, 4, 3, 2, . . .

The first term of the sequence is:

[tex]a_1=6[/tex]

The common difference is

d=5-6=-1

The nth term of the sequence:

[tex]a_n=a_1+d(n-1)[/tex]

[tex]a_n=6-1(n-1)[/tex]

[tex]a_n=6-n+1[/tex]

[tex]a_n=7-n[/tex]

When n=14

[tex]a_{14}=7-14=-7[/tex]
