HELP #1 *i will give whoever answers brainliest, but your answer has to be correct and you have to explain* The first term in an arithmetic sequence is 12. The third term in the sequence is 4. The tenth term in the sequence is -24.

A. Write the function that could be used to find the nth term of the arithmetic sequence

B. Daelyn said that the recursive formula for this sequence could be described as, “to find the next term of the sequence, add -4 to the previous term.” Do you agree or disagree that this statement is equivalent to the explicit formula that you created in part A? Explain.

A-> a(n)=a+(n-1)d

B-> Yes, I do agree

Step-by-step explanation:

A=   a+(n-1)d

where a=the first term

           n=the term's location

           d= the difference between two adjacent terms

B= I agree

a3=12+2d=4equation 1

          2d=-8

             d=-4

a10=12+9d=-24equation 2

            9d=-36

              d=-4

Hence, to find the next term of the sequence, add -4 to  the previous term.

{I hope this answers your question}

5x+40

5(x + 8)

7x - 49

7(x - 7)

18x + 9

9(2x + 1)

15x - 10

5(3x - 2)

step-by-step explanation:

for number one all you have to do is factor 5 out of 5x + 40

for number 2 factor 7 out of 7x - 49

for number three factor 9 out of 18x + 9

for number four factor 5 out of 15x - 10
