Question

Which explicit function defines the sequence -8, -6, -4, ...?

a) f(n) = -10 - n
b) f(n) = -10 + n
c) f(n) = n - 9
d) f(n) = 2n - 10

Answer 1

The function that defines the sequence -8, -6, -4, ... is f(n) = -10 + n.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence -8, -6, -4, ... can be defined by the function f(n) = -10 + n.

To find this, we can observe that each term in the sequence is 2 more than the previous term. So, we can express the nth term as -10 + n, where n represents the position of the term in the sequence.
