Question

Which function defines the sequence -16,-22,-28,-34 where f(10)= -70

Answer 1

Answer:

f(n) = -6n - 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is arithmetic sequence with first term a1 = -16 and common difference d = -6.

So f(n) = a1 + d(n - 1)

= -16 - 6(n - 1)

= -16 - 6n + 6

= -6n - 10.

Checking:

f(10) = -6(10) - 10 = -70.
