Explicit formula

Question

Write an explicit formula for the arithmetic sequence for the nth term.

36, 31, 25, 21

Answer 1

NOTES:

An explicit formula designates the n^th term of the sequence, as an expression of n (where n = the term's location). It defines the sequence as a formula in terms of n. It may be written in either subscript notation a _n, or in functional notation, f (n). Sequence: {10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, ...}.

Arithmetic Sequences. An arithmetic sequence is a sequence in which the difference between each consecutive term is constant. An arithmetic sequence can be defined by an explicit formula in which a_n = d (n - 1) + c, where d is the common difference between consecutive terms, and c = a₁.

This example is an arithmetic sequence(the same number, 5, is added to each term to get to the next term).

Answer 2

Kristi M.

 The paper says 36, 30, 25 and 21

Better!!

But, I don't have an answer yet. I don't think this would be called an arithmetic sequence??
