Question

Rewrite the explicit formula in function form. The identify the y-

Answer 1

Answer:

We have the relation:

aₙ = 10 + 2*(n - 1)

And we want to write this in fuction form:

y = f(n)

first we have:

aₙ = y =  10 + 2*(n - 1)

We can rewrite this as:

y = 10 + 2*n - 2

y = 2*n + (10 - 2)

y = 2*n + 8

Now we want to find the y-intercept, this is the value of the function when the variable is equal to zero.

Then if we take n = 0, we get:

y = 2*0 + 8

y = 8

The y-intercept is 8.
