Question

Emanuel is writing a novel. He writes 10 pages on the first day. Every day after that, Emanuel writes 16 more pages. Let y represent the total number of pages Emanuel writes after x days.

Answer 1

The situation represents an arithmetic sequence because the successive y-values have a common difference of 16....

Explanation:

On first day Emanuel writes 10 pages.

Emanuel writes 16 pages more with each passing day.

So the sequence of the pages he wrote will be:

10,26,42, 58,...

This situation represents an arithmetic sequence.. if you compare two consecutive days, the number of pages differ by 16.

The situation represents an arithmetic sequence because the successive y-values have a common difference of 16....
