The first four terms of a sequence are shown below:

8, 5, 2, −1

Which of the following functions best defines this sequence? (5 points)

Question 11 options:

1)

f(1) = 8, f(n + 1) = f(n) + 3; for n ≥ 1

2)

f(1) = 8, f(n + 1) = f(n) − 5; for n ≥ 1

3)

f(1) = 8, f(n + 1) = f(n) + 5; for n ≥ 1

4)

f(1) = 8, f(n + 1) = f(n) − 3; for n ≥ 1

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Function notation for implicit forms is written as:

  • [tex]f_n[/tex] is the current term
  • [tex]f_{n+1}[/tex] is the next term

The pattern states 8 subtract 3 = 5. 5 subtract 3 = 2. 2 subtract 3 = -1. we can define the sequence as

[tex]current - 3 = next[/tex]

or using functions notation

[tex]f_n-3=f_{n+1}[/tex] Option 4
