The first four terms of a sequence are shown below: 7, 4, 1, −2

Which of the following functions best defines this sequence?

f(1) = 7, f(n + 1) = f(n) + 3; for n ≥ 1
f(1) = 7, f(n + 1) = f(n) − 3; for n ≥ 1
f(1) = 7, f(n + 1) = f(n) − 4; for n ≥ 1
f(1) = 7, f(n + 1) = f(n) + 4; for n ≥ 1

unpaid balance is : $149.99-$50 = $99.99 new balance = 149.99+2.62-50 = $102.61 finance charge = 99.99- 0.21/12= $1.75 new balance = 99.99+1.75 = $101.74 average daily balance method average daily balance= 3399.70/30 = $113.32 finance charge = $ 0.21/12ă—113.32 = $1.98 new balance = $149.99-50+1.98 = $101.97

answer: on graphs, the open and closed circles, or vertical asymptotes drawn as dashed lines us identify discontinuities.

as before, graphs and tables allow us to estimate at best.

when working with formulas, getting zero in the denominator indicates a point of discontinuity.

when working with piecewise-defined functions, check for discontinuities at the transition points where one piece ends and the next begins.
