Now we know:

zero term= -1

Constant rate= 2

Which explicit formula fits this scenario?

• a_n = -1n + 2

• a_n = 2n - 1

• a_n = n - 1

• a_n = 2n + 1

What is the explicit formula for a sequence with a zero term of 6 and a common difference of 3.2?

• a_n = 6n - 3.2

• a_n = 3.2n - 6

• a_n = 3.2n +6
