Answer 1

Answer:

g(n) = - 19 + (n - 1)*6

Step-by-step explanation:

The way to do this is to try a couple and then see if you can make some sort of equation that follows the rule.

g(1) = - 19

=============

g(2) = g(2 - 1) + 6

g(2) = g(1) + 6

g(2) = -19 + 6

g(2) = -13

=============

g(3) = g(2) + 6

g(3) = -13 + 6

g(3) = - 7

==========

g(4) = g(3) + 6

g(4) = - 7 + 6

g(4) = - 1

==========

g(5) = 5

g(6) =11

===========

Now the hard part. You have to start  with - 19

The nth term is g(n) = - 19 + (n - 1)*6

Now see if it works.

g(7) = - 19 + (7 - 1)*6

g(7) = - 19 + 6 * 6

g(7) = -19 + 36

g(7) = 17

Is that correct?

g(7) = g(n - 1) + 6

g(7) = g(6) + 6

g(7) = 11 + 6

g(7) = 17 Seems to be the same as the explicit formula gives.
