Which functions represent the arithmetic sequence 8, 1.5, –5, –11.5 . . ? check all that apply. f(n) = –6.5n  + 14.5f(n) = –1.5n  + 9.5f(n) = 6.5n  + 1.5f(1) = 8,  f(n  + 1) =  f(n) – 6.5f(1) = 8,  f(n  + 1) =  f(n) – 1.5f(1) = 8,  f(n  + 1) =  f(n) + 6.5

f(n)= -6.5n +14.5

f(1)= 8, f(n+1) = f(n) - 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

the arithmetic sequence 8, 1.5, –5, –11.5 . . .

First term is 8

Now we find difference between the terms

1.5 - 8= -6.5

-5-1.5= -6.5

difference is -6.5

The formula is f(n)= a1 + (n-1)d

where a1 is the first term and d is the difference

f(n)= 8 + (n-1)(-6.5)

f(n)= 8 -6.5n+6.5

f(n)= -6.5n +14.5

To get recursive formula we use

f(n+1) = f(n)+ difference

f(1)= 8, f(n+1) = f(n) - 6.5

The functions that represent the arithmetic sequence is given by:

f(n) = –6.5n + 14.5

f(n+1) f(n) – 6.5, f(1) = 8

------------------

In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between consecutive terms is always the same, called common difference d, and the nth term is given by:

The sequence can also be represented by a recursive sequence, given by:

In this sequence:

Thus, the possible representations are:
