I'm thinking of a sequence that starts with 4 and every time I'm adding 5.  The explicit formula is...

• f(n)= 4x + 5
• f(n)= 5x + 4
• f(n) = 4 + 5^x
• f(n) = 5 + 4^x

I have $200 in a bank account and at the end of every month I'm taking 1/2 of what I have away.  The explicit formula is...

• f(n)= 200⋅(½)ⁿ
• f(n)=200 - (½)n
• f(n)= 200⋅(½)^n-1
• f(n)=200 - (½)(n-1)
