Which function describes the arithmetic sequence shown?
7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, ...
A) ƒ(x) = 2x − 5
B) ƒ(x) = 5x − 2
C) ƒ(x) = 2x + 5
D) ƒ(x) = 5x + 2

Respuesta :

Answer:

2X + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

1st. 2 × 1 + 5 => 7

2nd. 2 × 2 + 5 => 7

3rd. 2 × 3 + 5 => 7

4th. 2 × 4 + 5 => 7

5th. 2 × 5 + 5 => 7

6th. 2 × 6 + 5 => 7

Xth. 2 × X + 5 => 2X + 5

Answer:

The function that describes the arithmetic sequence is C)  [tex]f(x) = 2x + 5[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

A sequence is a set of numbers that are in order.

An arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers such that the difference of any two successive members of the sequence is a constant.

If the first term of an arithmetic sequence is [tex]a_1[/tex] and the common difference is [tex]d[/tex], then the x th term of the sequence is given by

                                            [tex]y_{x}=a_{1}+(x-1)d[/tex]

7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, ... is an arithmetic sequence with the common difference 2.

The values of [tex]a_1[/tex] and [tex]d[/tex] are:

[tex]a_1=7\\\\d=2[/tex]

Using the Arithmetic Sequence formula:

[tex]y_{x}=7+(x-1)\cdot 2\\\\y_{x}=7+\left(2x-2\right)\\\\y_{x}=2x+5[/tex]
