The explicit formula for the arithmetic sequence: 2, 6, 10, 14, ...
f(n) = 4n - 2
Sometimes sequences are described in subscript notation and sometimes in function notation. What does a1 in subscript and f(1) in function notation represent?
The first term in a sequence
True or false, an arithmetic sequences include sequences that increase by repeated multiplication.
False

(What is)The explicit formula for the sequence: -16, -25, -34, -43, -52 Find the value of the tenth term.
f(n) = -9n - 7, f(10)= -97
A sequence is defined by the recursive rule f(n)=f(n-1)+4. The first term is -8. Write the first five terms of the sequence.
