Describe how to find the "nth" term in the sequence.

• Start with -8 and subtract 9 n times

• Start with 1 and subtract 9 n times

• Start with -8 and multiply by -9 to the power n

• Start with 1 and multiply by -9 to the power n

Answer explanation

The initial value is found when the input is 0. If we look at the table we will notice a blank space next to 0.

To find the initial value we need to know the common difference. The pattern decreases/subtracts by 9. If we go backwards from 8 and ADD 9 we get 1.

Therefore, the initial value is 1.

1. Write an equation for the function. 

Answer explanation

When writing the equation we need the initial value. The initial value is found when the input is 0. If we look at the table we will notice a blank space next to 0.

To find the initial value we need to know the common difference. The pattern decreases/subtracts by 9. If we go backwards from 8 and ADD 9 we get 1.

Therefore, the initial value is 1 and the common difference is -9.
