ohn has a golf score of 140. Each time he plays, the score decreases by 4. Which of the following sequences can represent this situation?
{140, 136, 132, 128...}
{140, 144, 148, 152...}
{4, 8, 12, 16...}
{4, 0, -4, -8...}
{140, 136, 132, 128...}
The sequence that can represent John's golf score situation is:
{140, 136, 132, 128...}
To determine which sequence represents the situation where John's golf score decreases by 4 each time he plays, we need to observe the pattern of numbers.
Option 1: {140, 136, 132, 128...}
This sequence starts with 140, and each subsequent number is 4 less than the previous number. Therefore, this sequence represents the situation where John's golf score decreases by 4 each time.
Option 2: {140, 144, 148, 152...}
This sequence starts with 140, but each subsequent number is 4 more than the previous number. Therefore, this sequence does not represent the situation where John's golf score decreases by 4 each time.
Option 3: {4, 8, 12, 16...}
This sequence starts with 4, and each subsequent number is 4 more than the previous number. Therefore, this sequence does not represent the situation where John's golf score decreases by 4 each time.
Option 4: {4, 0, -4, -8...}
This sequence starts with 4, and each subsequent number is 4 less than the previous number. However, it does not start with 140, so it does not represent the situation where John's golf score decreases by 4 each time.
Therefore, the correct sequence that represents the situation where John's golf score decreases by 4 each time is {140, 136, 132, 128...}.
