Question

Generate the first five terms in the sequence using the explicit formula.

yn = –5n – 5

Answer 1

Just plug in numbers into the equation for n such as
n=0, n=1, n=2, n=3, n=4

Answer 2

Then what?

Answer 3

Then those are your five terms....

Answer 4

Well I did that but I did not get any of the numbers that match the multiple choice, I guess I'm just really stupid in the mornings

Answer 5

What did you get for y when n=0?

Answer 6

I guess I can figure t out from here thank you

Answer 7

-30

Answer 8

How?? You just plug in so that y= -5*0-5 And then you end up with y=-5

Answer 9

1. Generate the first five terms in the sequence using the explicit formula.
yn = –5n – 5 (1 point)
(0 pts) –30, –25, –20, –15, –10
(0 pts) 30, 25, 20, 15, 10
(1 pt) –10, –15, –20, –25, –30
(0 pts) 10, 15, 20, 25, 30
1 /1 point

2. What is the 15th term in the sequence using the given formula?
cn = 3n – 1 (1 point)
(0 pts) 14
(0 pts) 57
(1 pt) 44
(0 pts) –44
1 /1 point

3. Write a recursive formula for the sequence 7, 13, 19, 25, 31, ... Then find the next term. (1 point)
(1 pt) an = an– 1 + 6, where a1 = 7; 37
(0 pts) an = an– 1 + 6, where a1 = 37; 7
(0 pts) an = an– 1 – 6, where a1 = 6; –23
(0 pts) an = an– 1 – 6, where a1 = 7; –8
1 /1 point

4. Write a recursive formula for the sequence 7, 4, 1, –2, –5, .... Then find the next term. (1 point)
(0 pts) an = an–1 – 3, where a1 = –8; 7
(1 pt) an = an–1 – 3, where a1 = 7; –8
(0 pts) an = an–1 + 3, where a1 = –3; 22
(0 pts) an = an–1 + 3, where a1 = 7; –8
1 /1 point

5. Write an explicit formula for the sequence 8, 6, 4, 2, 0, ... Then find a14. (1 point)
(0 pts) an = –2n + 10; –16
(0 pts) an = –2n + 8; –18
(0 pts) an = –2n + 8; –20
(1 pt) an = –2n + 10; –18
1 /1 point
