Answer:
J, 6
Step-by-step explanation:
plug in the values given into the equation
x = 5 and y = 2
4(5) - (2)³/ 2
20 - 8/2
20 - 8 = 18
12/2
6
the value of 
is 6 when the values are plugged in
Answer:
Felipe is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Note the difference between consecutive terms is constant, that is
16 - 24 = 8 - 16 = 0 - 8 = - 8
This indicates the sequence is arithmetic
The explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence is
f(n) = a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Here a₁ = 24 and d = - 8, thus
f(n) = 24 - 8(n - 1) = 24 - 8n + 8 = 32 - 8n ← Felipe's answer
