Answer:

(a) t_n = 3n - 9

(b) t_16 = 39

Explanation:

(a)

-3 - (-6) = -3 + 6 = 3

The common difference is 3.

t_1 = -6

t_2 = -6 + 3

t_3 = -6 + 3 + 3

t_4 = -6 + 3 + 3 + 3

t_n = -6 + 3(n - 1)

t_n = -6 + 3n - 3

t_n = -9 + 3n

t_n = 3n - 9

The formula is: t_n = 3n - 9

(b) t_16 = 3(16) - 9 = 48 - 9 = 39

Answer:

an = -6 + 3(n - 1)

a(16) = 39

Explanation:

Explicit Formula: an = a1 + d(n - 1)

Our d (common difference) is +3

Our a1 (First term) is -6

To find a(16) (the 16th term), plug in 16 for n.
