The first four terms of a sequence are shown below: 8, 5, 2, −1 which of the following functions best defines this sequence? (5 points) question 11 options: 1) f(1) = 8, f(n + 1) = f(n) + 3; for n ≥ 1 2) f(1) = 8, f(n + 1) = f(n) − 5; for n ≥ 1 3) f(1) = 8, f(n + 1) = f(n) + 5; for n ≥ 1 4) f(1) = 8, f(n + 1) = f(n) − 3; for n ≥ 1

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Function notation for implicit forms is written as:

The pattern states 8 subtract 3 = 5. 5 subtract 3 = 2. 2 subtract 3 = -1. we can define the sequence as

or using functions notation

Option 4

may i see the picture? it would a lot, xox

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3

step-by-step explanation:

rearrange these functions vertically, with like terms in separate columns:

f(x) = 5x^3 - 2

g(x) =         +1

now subtract, column by column:

(f - g)(x) = 5x^3 - 3
