Answer:
x = -7.5 - 1.5(n−1)
Explanation:
the explicit formula for the arithmetic sequence has the form
x = a + d(n−1)
a is the first term and d is the common difference
The given arithmetic sequence is
-7.5,-9,-10.5,-12
The first term is -7.5
d = common difference = -9 - (-7.5) = -1.5
∴ x = -7.5 - 1.5(n−1)
