I see problems and answer choices, but I don't see any of your work to check.
How do the first 11 expressions relate to the rest of the post?
1.an = 3n - 1
2. an = 2(2n - 3)
3.an = 4^n
4.an = (2/3)^n
5. an = (-1)^n(n + 5)
6. an = (-1)^n + 1(n + 6)
7. an= n+3/2n-1
8. a1 = -5 and an = an-1 - 3 for n ≥ 2
9. a1 = -6 and an = -2an-1 for n ≥ 2
10.a1 = 4 and an = 3an-1 + 2 for n ≥ 2
11. Find a8 when a1 = -10, d = -3.

Question 17
Write a formula for the general term (the nth term) of the arithmetic sequence. Then use the formula for an to find a20, the 20th term of the sequence.
1, 4, 7, 10, 13, . . .
Answer
an = 3n + 2; a20 = 62
an = n + 3; a20 = 23
an = 3n - 2; a20 = 58
an = 2n - 3; a20 = 37

Question 18
Write a formula for the general term (the nth term) of the arithmetic sequence. Then use the formula for an to find a20, the 20th term of the sequence.
25, 16 , 7, -2, . . .
Answer
an = -9n + 25; a20 = -155
an = -9n + 34; a20 = -146
an = 9n - 25; a20 = 155
an = 9n - 34; a20 = 146
