Answer:

Felipe is correct

Explanation:

Note the difference between consecutive terms is constant, that is

16 - 24 = 8 - 16 = 0 - 8 = - 8

This indicates the sequence is arithmetic

The explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence is

f(n) = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = 24 and d = - 8, thus

f(n) = 24 - 8(n - 1) = 24 - 8n + 8 = 32 - 8n ← Felipe's answer
