Sum of the first n term = 4n - n^2 Sn = 4n-n^2 then n=1 ,4×1-1^2 =3 the sum of first term is 3 then n=2 , 4×2-2^2=4 the sum of 2 term is 4 then second term = sum of 2 term - sum of 1 term = 4 -3 = 1 then a = 3 , a+d=1 then d =-2 then n term is a+ (n-1)×d = 3+(n-1)×-2 = 5 -2n

We have given that
Sum of the first n terms = 4n – n2
⇒ Sn = 4n – n2

Sn –1 = 4(n – 1) – (n – 1)2
= (4n – 4) – (n2 + 1 – 2n)
= 4n – 4 – n2 – 1 + 2n
= 6n – n2 – 5
∴ nth term = Sn – Sn – 1
= (4n – n2) – (6n – n2 – 5)
= 4n – n2 – 6n + n2 + 5
= 5 –2n.
