2 14
3 19
4 24
5 29
,
O A. a[n) = 9+ (n - 1)•5
O B. a(n) = 5 + (n - 1)•9
O.C. a[n) = 9 (n-1)
O D. a(n) = 5(n-1)

Answer:

A.

[tex]a_n=9+(n-1)\cdot 5[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

The common difference is 5. The y values are going up by 5. So this is an arithmetic sequence since we have a common difference.

The explicit form for arithmetic sequence is:

[tex]a_n=a_1+(n-1) \cdot d[/tex] where d represents the commom difference and [tex]a_1[/tex] is the first term.

Here the first term is [tex]a_1=9[/tex] and we already determined the value for d which is 5.

Inputing these values for first term and common difference give:

[tex]a_n=9+(n-1)\cdot 5[/tex].
