Question

which sequence is generated by the function f(n 1) = f(n) – 2 for f(1) = 10? (a) –10, –12, –14, –16, –18, ... (b) –2, 8, 18, 28, 38, ... (c) 8, 18, 28, 38, 48, ... (d) 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, ...

Answer 1

I think that the answer is D

Answer 2

You skiped one operator.

I assume that the function is f(n+1) = f(n) - 2.

f(1) = 10
f(2) = f(1) - 2 = 10 - 2 = 8
f(3) = f(2) - 2 = 8 - 2 = 6
f(4) = f(3) - 2 = 6 - 2 = 4
f(5) = f(4) - 2 = 4 -2 = 2

So the sequence, is 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, ... [option d]
