Question

Given the sequence below, which of the following is an explicit formula that can be used to find the 41st term of the sequence?

A. a41= 10 + (-6)(41 - 1)

B. a41= a41−1- 6

C. a40= 10 + (6)(40 - 1)

D. a41= a41−1+ 6

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

What we know here is that the pattern subtracts 6 every nth value progression.

We can create a explicit formula for this sequence.

let the output be f(n)

let term # = n

so the formula would be...

If we plug in the value 41 for n

41st term of the sequence is -230
