Answer:
B. First term = 5, Common difference = -3
Explanation:
The first term is f(1) = 8 - 3(1) = 8 - 3 = 5.
The common difference is the coefficient of n. Another way to see this is to compute the second term, f(2) = 8 - 3(2) = 8 - 6 = 2. The second term is 3 less than the first. The common difference is -3.
The sequence goes 5, 2, -1, -4, ...
