Question

The first four terms of a sequence are shown below:

6, 2, -2, -6

Which of the following functions best defines this sequence?

f(1) = 6, f(n + 1) = f(n) + 4; for n ≥ 1

f(1) = 6, f(n + 1) = f(n) - 2; for n ≥ 1

f(1) = 6, f(n + 1) = f(n) - 4; for n ≥ 1

f(1) = 6, f(n + 1) = f(n) + 2; for n ≥ 1

Answer 1

okay, these are called sequences,
so you see the numbers \(6, 2, -2, -6\)
you have to replace f(n+1) with thumber they said to replace it, so in this case f(1) =6 so replace n with 6 now you have to figure out what is f(2) and f(3) and when you figure these out it has to equal the numbers: \(6, 2, -2, -6\)

Answer 2

I dont which one it is, It looks like the first one but its not.

Answer 5

So it is the first one?

Answer 6

yes
