The complete table of values for the sequence is

Position 1 4 8 13 19 25

Term 12 3 -9 -24 -42 -60

How to complete the table of values for the sequence

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

The table of values

Where, we have

f(1) = 12

f(25) = -16

The above means that the first term is 12

The nth term is then represented as

f(n) = a + (n - 1) * d

So, we have

f(n) = 12 + (n - 1) * d

Substitute the known values in the above equation, so, we have the following representation

12 + (25 - 1) * d = -60

24d = -72

Evaluate

d = -3

So, we have

f(n) = 12 - 3(n - 1)

f(n) = 15 -3n

Completing the table of values, we have

f(8) = 15 -3 * 8 = -9

f(19) = 15 -3 * 19 = -42

Also, we have

15 - 3n = 3

-3n = -12

n = 4

15 - 3n = -24

-3n = -39

n = 13

So, the table of value is

Position 1 4 8 13 19 25

Term 12 3 -9 -24 -42 -60
