WILL MEDAL, HELP IF YOU'RE INTERESTED? (:

The first four terms of a sequence are shown below:

8, 5, 2, -1

Which of the following functions best defines this sequence?

A) f(1) = 8, f(n+1) = f(n) + 3; for n greater than or equal to 1
B) f(1) = 8, f(n+1) = f(n) - 5; for n greater than or equal to 1
C) f(1) = 8, f(n+1) = f(n) + 5; for n greater than or equal to 1
D) f(1) = 8, f(n+1) = f(n) -3; for n greater than or equal to 1

Answer 1

d

Answer 2

5-8 = -3

Answer 3

2-5= -3

Answer 4

-1 -2 = -3 again so if you realize the pattern you can conclude that the answer is d
