Answer:

If n is an integer, the function that generate the sequence 10, 12, 14, 16, ... is
\mathbf{d(n)=8+2n\:for\:n>1}

Option D is correct option

Explanation:

We are given the arithmetic sequence:

10, 12, 14, 16, ...

If n is an integer, which of these functions generate the sequence?

We need to find the nth term for the given sequence

The nth term for arithmetic sequence will be:
a_n=a_1+(n-1)d

where aₙ is nth term, a₁ is first term and d is common difference

Looking at the sequence a₁ = 10 and d = 2

So, nth term will be:


a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\\a_n=10+(n-1)2\\a_n=10+2n-2\\a_n=8+2n

So, nth term is:
a_n=8+2n

In the options below, the only correct answer is option D. so, we can write nth term as:
d(n) = 8 + 2n\: for\: n > 1

So, If n is an integer, the function that generate the sequence 10, 12, 14, 16, ... is
\mathbf{d(n)=8+2n\:for\:n>1}

Option D is correct option
