Question

What is the formula for the following arithmetic sequence? 12, 6, 0, -6, ...

an = 12 + (-6)(n - 1)

an = 12 + 6(n - 1)

an = -6 + 12(n - 1)

an = 6 + 12(n - 1)

Answer 1

12 + (-6)(n-1)

Hope it helped <3

Answer 2

an= 12 + (-6)(n-1)

Explanation:

you should find two values: a1 and d

a1= first number =12

d= a number of the sequence mines the number of the sequence before the one you chose = 0-6 = -6

a1+(n-1)d= 12-6(n-1)
