Answer:

f(n) = 2n - 3 describes the arithmetic sequence,

-1, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13,.......

Step-by-step explanation:

Function:

A function is like a machine that gives an output for a given input.

A function has an independent variable which is called the input of the function.

The output for a given input is called the dependent variable.

Here. 'n' is the independent variable

f(n) is the function dependent variable i.e function of n as an output.

For Arithmetic sequence

a_{n}= a_{1} + (n-1)d

Where

a_{n} = nth number of the sequence.

a₁ = First term

d = common difference = a₂ - a₁ = a₃ - a₂ = so on

For a function which describes Arithmetic sequence,

a₁ = -1

d = 1 - -1 =2

∴ f(n) = a₁ + (n -1 )d

substituting the values we get

∴ f(n) = -1 +(n-1)2

using distributive property

∴ f(n) = - 1 +  2n - 2

∴ f(n) = 2n - 3  ..........is the required function

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>The sequence given</u>

  • 6, 19, 58, 175

<u>We see the pattern: triple the previous term plus 1</u>

  • 2) 19 = 6*3 + 1
  • 3) 58 = 19*3 + 1
  • 4) 175 = 58*3 + 1

<u>Next two terms</u>

  • 5) 175*3 + 1 = 526
  • 6) 526*3 + 1 = 1579

<u>Following two terms</u>

  • 7) 1579*3 + 1 = 4738
  • 8) 4738*3 + 1 = 14215
