What is the pattern in the infinite sequence below? –3, –1, 1, 3, 5,
a. multiply the term number by 2, then subtract 5.
b. multiply the term number by 3, then subtract 6.
c. multiply the term number by 4, then subtract 7.
d. multiply the term number by 5, then subtract 8.

 The correct option is

(A) Multiply the term number by 2, then subtract 5.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to select the correct pattern in the following infinite sequence below :

–3,  –1,   1,   3,   5,   .    .   ..

Let a(n) represents the n-th term of the given sequence. Then, we see that

Therefore, from above, we can conclude that

Thus, the required pattern is :

Multiply the term number by 2, then subtract 5.

Option (A) is CORRECT.  

-12 > a

step-by-step explanation:

-11 > 1 + a

subtract 1 from each side

-11 -1> 1 -1+ a

-12 > a

a

step-by-step explanation:

strong negative correlation
