Question

Consider the sequence below

Answer 1

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
