Answer 1

For this case we first define the variable:
 x = number of terms.
 The equation that models the problem is:
 f (x) = 3.4 - 0.6x
 We have then that the first four terms are:
 x = 1
 f (1) = 3.4 - 0.6 (1) = 3.4 - 0.6 = 2.8
 x = 2
 f (2) = 3.4 - 0.6 (2) = 3.4 - 1.2 = 2.2
 x = 3
 f (3) = 3.4 - 0.6 (3) = 3.4 - 1.8 = 1.6
 x = 4
 f (4) = 3.4 - 0.6 (4) = 3.4 - 2.4 = 1
 Answer:
 The rule for the sequence is:
 f (x) = 3.4 - 0.6x

Answer 2

F(1)=2.8, f(2)=2.2, f(3)=1.6, f(4)=1
f(2)-f(1)=2.2-2.8=-0.6
f(3)-f(2)=1.6-2.2=-0.6
f(4)-f(3)=1-1.6=-0.6
Then the function decreases 0.6 units by each unit increases x: Options 1 or 2

With the first function:
x=1→f(1)=3.4-0.6(1)=3.4-0.6→f(1)=2.8  OK

With the second function:
x=1→f(1)=2.8-0.6(1)=2.8-0.6→f(1)=2.2   NO

Answer: First option f(x)=3.4-0.6x
