Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for the given variable 
, we need to get on one side of the equation by itself. To do so, we need to remove the -16 that is on the same side of the variable.
To get rid of the -16, we can add a 16 to that side of the equation since 
, which will get by itself; however, if we add -16 to one side of the equation, we must add it to both sides of the equation:
Explicit Formula
Just in case you don't know what this is, the explicit formula is the formula that solves for any term in the series without necessarily knowing what came before the term you are solving.
<em><u>Givens</u></em>
d = t_(n + 1) - t_n You can take any term and the next term for this part of the formula
d = t_3 - t_2
t_3 = 1
t_2 = -7
d = 1 - - 7 = 8
a = -15
<em><u>Formula</u></em>
t_n = a + (n - 1)*d
t_n = -15 + (n - 1)*8
For example find the 5th term.
t_5 = - 15 + (5 - 1)*8
t_5 = - 15 + 4 *8
t_5 = -15 + 32
t_5 = 17 Which is what you have.
Recursive Formula
Computers really like this formula. They use it in what is called a subroutine and they pass values from one part of the program to a subroutine which evaluates the given and sends the result back. I'm telling you all this so you see why you are doing it. The disadvantage of it for humans is that you must know the preceding term to use the recursive formula.
<em><u>Formula</u></em>
t_n = t_(n - 1) + d
<em><u>Example</u></em>
t_6 = t_(6 - 1) + d
t_6 = t_5 + 8
t_6 = 17 + 8
t_6 = 25
You can check this by using the explicit formula.

Answer:
wow thanks for free points
Well, since it is multiple choice, you can just eliminate the answers. If you take 5/4 it equals 1.25. Then you go through the choices. All of the numbers, except 7.2 (C) are infinite. And, 7.2 gives you the 1.25 from before... which is your answer
If this helped, brainliest would be great! Only need one more to level up :)
