Question

A food pantry gave away a total of 200 turkeys on Monday and continued to give out 25 turkeys each day of the rest of the week. Which explicit equation represents this situation?

Answer 1

hello

since this question request we solve for the explicit formula, we are going to assume that the sequence is an arithmetic progression and the formula of explicit formula is given as

$\begin{gathered} f(n)=a+(n-1)d \\ a=\text{ first term } \\ n=\text{nth term} \\ d=common\text{ difference} \end{gathered}$

in this case, we can define our values as

$\begin{gathered} a=200 \\ d=25 \\ n=n \end{gathered}$$\begin{gathered} f(n)=200+(n-1)25 \\ n=\text{ number of days} \end{gathered}$
