Question

For the function below, which set produces the sequence 12, 6, 0? s(n)=-6n

A. s(-2), s(-1), s(0)

B. s(2), s(1), s(0)

C. s(-18), s(-12), s(-6)

D. s(18), s(12), s(6)

Answer 1

The correct set that produces the sequence 12, 6, 0 for the function s(n)=-6n is A. s(-2), s(-1), s(0). This is because when we plug in the values -2, -1, and 0 into the function, we get the results 12, 6, and 0 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which set produces the sequence 12, 6, 0 for the function s(n) = -6n, we need to evaluate each option given:

• A. s(-2), s(-1), s(0)
• B. s(2), s(1), s(0)
• C. s(-18), s(-12), s(-6)
• D. s(18), s(12), s(6)

Calculating these:

1. s(-2) = -6*(-2) = 12
2. s(-1) = -6*(-1) = 6
3. s(0) = -6*0 = 0

Thus, the correct answer is A. s(-2), s(-1), s(0) because the evaluations for s(-2), s(-1), and s(0) give us the sequence 12, 6, 0, respectively.
