Answer:
an = -8 +3(n-1)
an = -11 +3n
f(n) = -11 +3n
Explanation:
–8, –5, –2, 1, 4, ...
This is an arithmetic sequence.
We are increasing by 3 each time
-8 +3 = -5
-5+3 = -2
-2 +3 = 1
The common difference is 3
The formula for an arithmetic sequence is
an = a1 +d (n-1)
an = -8 +3(n-1)
an = -8 +3n -3
an = -11 +3n
The nth term is -11 +3n
f(n) = -11 +3n
