Answer: option C.) an 1.2 (n-1) -5 Sorry, no subscript for "a sub n"
Explanation:
Substitute the values of n 1,2,3,4 and see if the output is the corresponding number in the sequence.
n = 1 2 3 4
-5 -3.8 -2.6 -1.4
an= 1.2 (n-1) -5 the n-1 needs to be a number multiplied by 1.2 produces a number added to -5 results in the number in the sequence.
a1=1.2(1-1) -5 a= 1.2(0) -5 a= -5
a2 1.2 (2-1) -5 a= 1.2(1) -5 a= -1.2 -5 a= -3.8
a3 1.2 (3-1) -5 a= 1.2(2) -5 a= -2.4 -5 a= -2.6
a4 1.2 (4-1) -5 a= 1.2(3) -5 a= -3.6 -5 a= -1.4
