Answer 3

this is an arithmetic sequence in which the common difference is -5

Answer 4

the general formula for each term in this sequence is

a1 +d(n -1) where a1 = first term , n = sequence number and d = common difference


here a1 = 10 and d = -5

Answer 5

Thank you so much

Answer 6

sorry i was wrong there
the correct choice is -5n + 15

Answer 7

okay

Answer 8

a1 + d(n -1) = a1 + dn - d

when a1 = 10 and d = -5 we have

10 -5n - -5 = -5n + 15

Answer 9

okay
