Solution

The explicit function for the sequence in the table is A. a(n) = 12 + (n − 1) • 7

Here's why:

The difference between consecutive y-values is 12, which is the common difference in this arithmetic sequence. This common difference is multiplied by (n-1) in the formula for an arithmetic sequence. The first term in the sequence is 7, which is added to the product of the common difference and (n-1). So, the explicit function is a(n) = 12 + (n − 1) • 7.
