Question

The explicit rule for a sequence and one of the specific terms us give. find the position of the term given.

explicit rule: f(n)=2.5n-16

given term: 24

Answer 1

Position is n = 16

Explanation:

he explicit rule for the term in the sequence is given as:

f(n) = 2.5 n - 16

given that the term is 24, we need to find "n" (position). So we solve for "n" :

24 = 2.5 n - 16

24 + 16 = 2.5 n

40 = 2.5 n

n = 40/2.5

n = 16
