Answer: option D is the correct answer
Step-by-step explanation:
In the given sequence, the consecutive terms differ by a common difference.
The formula for determining the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is expressed as
Tn = a + (n - 1)d
Where
a represents the first term of the sequence.
d represents the common difference.
n represents the number of terms in the sequence.
From the information given,
a = - 351
d = - 343 - - 351 = - 343 + 351
d = 8
Therefore, the explicit function which defines the sequence is
f(n) = - 351 + 8(n - 1)
f(n) = 8n - 8 - 351
f(n) = 8n - 359
