Construct an explicit rule in function notation for the arithmetic sequence represented in the table. Then determine the value of the given term, and explain what it means. Darnell starts saving the same amount from each week′s paycheck. The table shows the total balance f(n) of his savings account over time in weeks. Time (weeks) n 1 2 3 4 Savings account balance ($) f(n) 260 360 460 560 Determine the value of f(11) and tell what it represents in this situation. f(n) = + (n − 1) f(11) = After 11 weeks, Darnell′s savings account will have a total of $ .

Answer:

After 11 weeks, Darnell′s savings account will have a total of $8,360.

Step-by-step explanation:

The data provided is as follows:

   n:    1        2       3        4

f (n): 260   360   460   560  

Consider the data for f (n).

The series f (n) follows an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of 100 and first term as 260.

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is:

[tex]a_{n}=\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d][/tex]

Compute the value of f (11) as follows:

[tex]f(11)=\frac{11}{2}[(2\times260)+(11-1)\times 100][/tex]

        [tex]=5.5\times[520+1000]\\\\=5.5\times 1520\\\\=8360[/tex]

Thus, after 11 weeks, Darnell′s savings account will have a total of $8,360.
