You could say that a(n) = 12 - 5n .

Then ...

a(1) = 12 - 5 = 7
a(2) = 12 - 10 = 2
a(3) = 12 - 15 = -3
and so on.
So it seems to work.

7, 2, -3, -8, -13
-5 -5 -5 -5

a(n) = a₁ + d(n - 1)
a(n) = 7 - 5(n - 1)
a(n) = 7 - 5(n) + 5(1)
a(n) = 7 - 5n + 5
a(n) = -5n + 7 + 5
a(n) = -5n + 12

If a projectile is modeled by a parabola, what could the x-intercepts represent?

Mars2501 [29]

Answer: The x-intercepts represents the points at which the parabola crosses the axis of x.

Step-by-step explanation:

If it exist then the x-intercepts represent the zeros, roots, or quadratic function, the values of x at y = 0. Then the parabola does not cross the x-axis, so it has no zeros.
