∴2+2=16+2×12=40

∴

Which formula can be used to describe the sequence?
alexdok [17]

Answer:

f(x+1) = -3/4 × f(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

first of all, the sign of the numbers in the sequence is alternating. so, there must be a "-" involved.

that eliminates the first and third answer options.

and the absolute values of the numbers in the sequence are going down. |f(x+1)| < |f(x)|

that eliminates the fourth answer option, as this says that

|f(x)| < |f(x+1)|. and that is the opposite of how the actual sequence behaves.
