Tom and Katie are discussing the sequence: 22, 17, 12, 7, 2 Tom says the nth term rule is: -5n+17
Katie says the nth term rule is: 27-5n

A)Only Tom is correct
B)Only Katie is correct
C)They both are correct
D)Neither are correct

B

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a common difference d between consecutive terms, that is

d = 17 - 22 = 12 - 17 = 7 - 12 = 2 - 7 = - 5

This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with n th term

= a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Here a₁ = 22 and d = - 5, then

= 22 - 5(n - 1) = 22 - 5n + 5 = 27 - 5n → B

the required function is .

step-by-step explanation:

from the given table it is noticed that the graph passing through (-3,7), (0,4), (3,1) and (8,-4).

it is a linear function because the value of y is decrease by one as the value of x increase by 1.

the slope of the function is

the slope of the function is -1 and the y-intercept is 4.

the slope intercept form is

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

therefore the required function is . the graph of this function is shown below.

12.4, 12.387, 12.26, 12.252, 6.241, 6.2, 6.015, 6.009, 1.411, 1.2, 1.056, 1.007, 0.31,   0.13, 0.5, 0.04
