We know -48 came from (a)(-6), the "L" in "FOIL".

If -48 = -6a, then a = 8.

Now with a=8, go ahead and FOIL (x+8)(x-6) to find m.

Answer:

Arithmetic sequence

f(n) = 5n + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

f(1) = 7

f(2) = 7 + 5

f(3) = 7 + 5 + 5 = 7 + (2)(5)

f(n) = 7 + (n-1)(5)

f(n) = 7 + 5n - 5

f(n) = 5n + 2
