Mathematics defines function as an expression that points a relationship between two variables.
Sequence is a list of numbers in certain order.
The function that defines the sequence -6,-10,-14,-18 is [tex]\rm f(x)= -4x-2[/tex]
To justify above answer, following calculations are required:
Given:
[tex]\rm f(1)=-6\\f(2)=-10\\f(3)=-14\\f(4)=-18\\f(6)=-26[/tex]
Substituting x=1 in function [tex]\rm f(x)= -4x-2[/tex]
[tex]\begin{aligned}\rm f(1)&= -4(1)-2\\&=-6\end[/tex]
x=2
[tex]\begin{aligned} \rm f(2)&= -4(2)-2\\&=-10\end[/tex]
x=6
[tex]\begin{aligned}\rm f(6)&= -4(6)-2\\&=26\end[/tex]
Therefore the function [tex]\rm f(x)= -4x-2[/tex] defines the sequence.
