MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Which formula below shows how to write an EXPLICIT formula for an arithmetic sequence?
f(n) = f(1) + d(n - 1)
f(1) = 1st term
d = common difference
n = position of a term
f(n) = value of nth term
f(n) = d + f(1)(n - 1)
f(1) = 1st term
d = common difference
n = position of a term
f(n) = value of nth term
f(1) = d + f(n)(n - 1)
f(1) = 1st term
d = common difference
n = position of a term
f(n) = value of nth term
Answer explanation
Remember... An explicit rule is:
"First Term Common Difference (n-1) DONE"

Match the following explicit rules to the sequence they each describe:
13, 17, 21, 25, ...
f(n) = -4 - 17(n-1)
4, 17, 30, 43, ...
f(n)= 13 + 4(n-1)
17, 13, 9, 5, ...
f(n)= 4 + 13(n-1)
-4, -21, -38, -55, ...
f(n)= 17 - 4(n-1)
Answer explanation
Remember... An explicit rule is:
"First Term Common Difference (n-1) DONE"
