Question

Identify the first 4 terms in the arithmetic sequence given by the explicit formula ƒ(n) = 8 + 3(n – 1).

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(n) = 8 + 3(n) - 3

f(n) = 5 + 3n

f(1) = 5 + 3(1)

f(1) = 8

f(2) = 5 + 3(2)

f(2) = 5  + 6

f(2) = 11

f(3) = 5 + 3*3

f(3) = 14

f(4) = 5 + 3*4

f(4) = 17
