Given: an=3+an−1 and a1=5 What is the explicit rule for the arithmetic sequence?
1 answer:
The explicit rule for the arithmetic sequence for the sequence is a(n) = 3n + 2.
<h3>What is a sequence?</h3>It is defined as the systematic way of representing the data that follows a certain rule of arithmetic.
We have given:
and
The above expression represents the common ratio:
d = 3
First term:
a = 5
The explicit rule for the arithmetic sequence:
a(n) = 5 + (n - 1)3
a(n) = 3n + 2
Thus, the explicit rule for the arithmetic sequence for the sequence is a(n) = 3n + 2.

Here is my process for solving this.
First I drew arrows that indicated I was moving the whole triangle 5 units to the left.
*Look at first attachment*
Then I drew another triangle using those new points. (The new triangle is in pink)
*Look at second attachment*
Then I drew arrows that moved this new triangle 4 units up. (The new arrows are in pink)
*Look at third attachment*
Then I drew the new triangle in blue using the new points.
*Look at fourth attachment*
Then I mirrored / reflected the triangle over the x axis (the horizontal line) In green.
*Look at fifth attachment*
The fifth attachment in green is the final product! Hope that helps.
