Mr. Red's first year salary is $30,000 and it increases by $500 each year. What is the explicit rule for this sequence in simplified form?

Question 1 options:

an=29,500(n)+500

an=500(n)+29,999

an=500(n)+29,500


an=500(n)+30,000

Mr. Red's salary is an illustration of an arithmetic sequence

The explicit rule of Mr. Red's salary is an = 500n + 29500

How to determine the explicit formula?

Mr. Red's salary is an arithmetic sequence with the following parameters:

First term, a1 = 30000

Common difference, d = 500

The explicit rule is calculated as:

an = a1 + (n - 1) * d

This gives

an = 30000 + (n - 1) * 500

Evaluate the product

an = 30000 - 500 + 500n

This gives

an = 29500 + 500n

Rewrite as:

an = 500n + 29500

Hence, the explicit rule of Mr. Red's salary is an = 500n + 29500
