Amanda puts $1800 into an account that does not earn any interest. Every

month after that, she deposits the same amount of money. This sequence
represents her account balance for the first few months:
$1800, $2000, $2200,...
What is the explicit formula for the amount of money in her account at the
beginning of month n?

Answer:

a(n)=1800+(n-1)200

Step-by-step explanation

The usual formual is an=a1+d(n−1)

a1=The first number is the number you would start on

so 1800=a1

n=the number of times you would do it

you would usually put n-1 because the first number is already been put though the formula

d=the amount of change between each number

so 200=d

A(n)= a of n, like f(n) means f of n

so that why it is a(n)=1800+(n-1)200

i also got it right on A.pex
