Pablo generates the function f (x) = three-halves (five-halves) Superscript x minus 1 to determine the xth number in a sequence. Which is an equivalent representation?

(60 points) explain this in detail

In order for the function to be linear, what must m be and why? m = 22 because the rate of change is 1. m = 20 because the rate of change is 3. m = 22 because the rate of change is -1. m = 20 because the rate of change is -3.

What is the explicit rule for the sequence in simplified form? −1,−4,−7,−10,−13… an=4−5n an=−4−3n an=2−3n an=−6−5n
