<span> It would depend on the number of rows?
This is an arithmetic sequence and the sum of n terms is -->
n/2(2a+(n-1)d), where a is the first term and d is the common
difference. In this case a = 10, d =6
n/2(20+6(n-1)) = 3n^2 + 7n = ANSWER
n = number of rows

For this case we first define the variable:
x = number of terms.
The equation that models the problem is:
f (x) = 3.4 - 0.6x
We have then that the first four terms are:
x = 1
f (1) = 3.4 - 0.6 (1) = 3.4 - 0.6 = 2.8
x = 2
f (2) = 3.4 - 0.6 (2) = 3.4 - 1.2 = 2.2
x = 3
f (3) = 3.4 - 0.6 (3) = 3.4 - 1.8 = 1.6
x = 4
f (4) = 3.4 - 0.6 (4) = 3.4 - 2.4 = 1
Answer:
The rule for the sequence is:
f (x) = 3.4 - 0.6x
option 1
Y - 11 = 3(x + 4)....distribute thru the parenthesis
y - 11 = 3x + 12....add 11 to both sides
y = 3x + 12 + 11...simplify
y = 3x + 23 <==
