9, 2, -5... so is going down by 7 each time, meaning the "common difference" is -7.
Answer:
- using the rule given: 2.5
- using an exponential rule: 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Evaluating the linear rule given, for n = 1, we have ...
a1 = 7(1/2)(1) -1 = 7/2 -1 = 5/2 = 2.5
_____
We suspect you may intend the exponential function ...
an = 7(1/2)^(n-1)
Then, for n = 1, we have ...
a1 = 7(1/2)^(1 -1) = 7(1) = 7 . . . . the first term is 7
_____
When writing an exponential expression in plain text, it requires the exponential operator, a caret (^). If the exponent contains any arithmetic, as this one does, it must be enclosed in parentheses.

When you look at the graph, the X is the x value and the one on the f(x) is the y value, imagian it is on a graph and x is the steps you have to walk then imagain a ladder you have to go as high as the f(x) value says, then mark them. if they follow a pattern then write it down, if it does not then write incosentant.
Have a nice day.
