To find explicit formulas, you need two things. The common difference and the first term.

For example, #18

The first term = -15

The common difference = -20 -(-15) = -20 + 15 = -5

y = A + B(n - 1)

A = our first term

B = our common difference

n = the term you want to find in the sequence.

Leta plug our numbers in from #18

y = -15 + -5(n - 1)

Let's find the 4th term in the sequence.

y = -15 + -5(4 - 1)

y = -15 + -5(3)

y = -15 + -15

y = -30

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|

table 3 represents a direct variation function. : )
