Question

In a movie theater, the first row contains 3 seats, the second row contains 6 seats, the third row contains 9 seats, and the fourth row contains 12 seats.

A.) Write explicit rule for sequence
B.) Write recursive rule for sequence.

Answer 1

Answer:It's an arithmetic sequence with a common difference, d, = 4

A1 = 8

A2 = 8+4 = 12

A3 = 12+4 = 16 = 8+4(3-1) = 8+4(2) = 8+8

AN = A1 + d(N-1)

AN = 8 +4(N-1) = the Nth term in the sequence
