Teegan accidentally ran over a nail while driving to school today. Air is leaking out of her tire at a rate of 3 psi (pounds per square inch) per day. If her tire has 36 psi now, which sequence represents the psi remaining in Teegan's tire for the next four days?
{0, 3, 6, 9, …}
{36, 33, 30, 27, …}
{36, 12, 4, 0.75}
{36, 33, 30, 27}

Respuesta :

The sequence will be {36, 33, 30, 27, ....}. Then the correct option is B.

What is the arithmetic sequence?

Let a₁ be the first term and d is the common difference between the terms. Then the nth term will be given as

[tex]\rm a_n = a_1 + (n - 1)d[/tex]

Teegan accidentally ran over a nail while driving to school today.

Air is leaking out of her tire at a rate of 3 psi (pounds per square inch) per day.

If her tire has 36 psi now.

Then we have

a₁ = 36

d = -3

Then the sequence will be

The second term will be

a₂ = 36 + (2 – 1)-3

a₂ = 33

The third term will be

a₃ = 36 + (3 – 1)-3

a₃ = 30

The fourth term will be

a₄ = 36 + (4 – 1)-3

a₄ = 27

Then the sequence will be {36, 33, 30, 27, ....}.

Then the correct option is B.
