Consider the sequence given by a plus 8 pattern: 2, 10, 18, 26, ….
shae says that the formula for the sequence is f(n) = 8n + 2. marcus tells shae that she is wrong because the
formula for the sequence is f(n) = 8n − 6.
a. which formula generates the sequence by starting at n = 1? at n = 0?

n = 1 second formula

n = 0 first formula

Step-by-step explanation:

I answer this in the other question you put, here it is again.

This is easy to get. We know the sequence cause it follows a pattern of 8, so let's try some values of n from 1 to 4, to get those numbers with the first formula:

n = 1,2,3,4

f(1) = 8(1) + 2 = 10

f(2) = 8(2) + 2 = 18

f(3) = 8(3) + 2 = 26

f(4) = 8(4) + 2 = 34

As you can see, with the first formula, the first term is 10, and not 2. The only way to get 2 with n = 1 is with the second formula:

f(1) = 8(1) - 6 = 2

f(2) = 8(2) - 6 = 10

f(3) = 8(3) - 6 = 18

f(4) = 8(4) - 6 = 26

With n = 1, the second formula was better and correct.

The first formula could be right only beggining with n = 0. Here is the proof:

f(0) = 8(0) + 2 = 2

it could 14.28 but if its not that one then it has to be the 17 one. hope this ! : )
