    In an Arithmetic sequence, each term is obtained by adding the common difference in the previous term as shown in the recursive formula.

    The common difference of the sequence is - 13. This means, if we - 13 to a term we'll obtain the next term.

    If a term is 13, the term that will be next to 13 can be obtained by adding - 13 to it.

    So,

    13 + (-13) = 13 - 13 = 0

    Thus, the next term will be 0.
