Trixie now wants an arithmetic sequence with a sequence generator of -17 and a 16th term of 93. (In other words, t (16)=93.) Is it possible to create an arithmetic sequence to fit her information? If possible, find the equation. if not posible explain why

If the sequence generator is -17 you have to put the -17 into the equation making it t (n)=-17n plus b. B would be the answer to the t (0). To figure out b you have to put in the given coordinates which are 16 and 93. So it is now 93=-17 (16) plus b. -17 x 16 is -272 so now you have 93=-272 plus b. You have to get b alone so you do the additive inverse of -272 which is positive 272 and what you do to one side you do to the other so add 272 and 93. Now you have b= 365 so now the equation is t (n)=-17n plus 365. So yes, it is possible for Trixie to create an arithmetic sequence

???????????? yu meen term 1=-17 & term 16=93 ????????

93-(-17)=110

delta=110/16=6.875

Its legal, but akward

Most folks thank sequens gotta hav integers, but that fawls
