Answer:

a_{n} = 22 - 7n

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a common difference d between consecutive terms, that is

8 - 15 = 1 - 8 = - 7

This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with explicit formula

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = 15 and d = - 7 , then

a_{n} = 15 - 7(n - 1) = 15 - 7n + 7 = 22 - 7n ← explicit formula

Find an explicit formula that generates a sequence whose first four terms are: 24, 36, 54, 81
sattari [20]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

These are the first 4 terms of a geometric sequence with n th term

a_{n} = a₁ (r)^{n-1}

where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio

r = 36 ÷ 24 = 54 ÷ 36 = 81 ÷ 54 = 1.5 and a₁ = 24, hence

a_{n} = 24 (1.5)^{n-1} ← explicit formula
